Beautiful Smile with New Dental Implants
July 25th, 2009
Modern technology finds more ways to make people’s lives easier and painless. Two years ago dental equipment and treatment procedures were very different from what we have now. The same is about implantology. New dental implants are stronger and safer. Besides, their installation is simpler and faster.
These days, two types of implants are used: osseointegrated implants and fibrointegrated implants. The most popular is the osseointegrated implant. It involves the use of titanium that is connected with the living bone. Such and implant consists of a titanium screw that resembles a tooth root. A hole is drilled into the jawbone and the implant is then inserted into it.
The new dental implant is much longer than the usual one. It gets up to 50 mm in comparison with 10 to 15 mm for a normal implant used before. Modern technology allows dentists to precisely drill the hole in order to fix the titanium screw into the right position. This high precision is needed because the new dental implant can be screwed into the cheek bone, rather than the jawbone.
This deep intrusion into the bone structure makes the new dental implant be much stronger and act like a real tooth. But to make it so a complex treatment procedure is needed that begins with a 3D scan of the jaw. This initial research allows the new dental implant to be guided in without any surgery need.
Even if the operation is complex, it doesn’t mean that it takes more time. In fact it’s quicker and takes only three or four appointments. After the necessary few visits you’ll have the denture or the tooth fixed, being as strong as the real one. Tests have been done. They found that 95% of the new dental implants installation is successful. It means only one thing – the new technology will last for long because it will always have its clients.
Other tests showed that people who wear new dental implants are happier with them than with the old ones or with the denture implants system. Now they are becoming more and more popular. In Britain, for example, about 200,000 persons have already chosen them. More persons are getting ready to have a pair. The main purpose, to make the client happier, is successfully achieved.
Another good new dental implants characteristic is that they are fixed to the bone much faster. It was found in experimental studies that dental implants coated with a new class of morpheonetic proteins demonstrated significant osteogenic properties. It means that the space between the titanium implant and the bone tissue will be filled faster allowing the patient to have a strong, natural bite much sooner.
The secret is that the new technology is stimulating the bone regeneration in the place it’s really needed. However, these new bio-materials, like hydroxyapatite particles can not absorb quickly enough and may block the space for new tissue to grow into. This new development is still studied and results must be coming soon, firstly because such a revolutionary approach has been searched for a long time.
Dental implants are virtually indistinguishable from other teeth. They are considered a permanent solution to your lost teeth. Even if they are one of the most successful procedures in dentistry, failure is possible. To avoid mistakes science develops new ways to achieve the same results. New dental implants are one of these ways. But more important for you is that they are already available.
