Today, dental prosthetics, that is, the replacement of missing teeth, can not be imagined without implanting teeth. And if not long ago, the implantation of teeth was perceived by many as an experimental technique, today in the whole world it is a standard method for replacing missing teeth, which gives more predictable and long-lasting results than traditional prosthetics.
Dental implants are artificial roots of teeth that are made of titanium and installed in the jaw bone, in the area of lost teeth.
Implantation has two main tasks. The first is to prevent the preparation or “filing” of healthy teeth for the construction of a bridge-like prosthesis since it has been proven that teeth that serve as a support for such a prosthetic are significantly weakened, and in a few years there is a significant risk of their loss.
The second is to avoid wearing of removable dentures, even with complete lack of teeth. Such dentures, however qualitative they are, are removable, and this creates an extraordinary psychological discomfort for a person. In addition, prolonged use of such structures leads to loss of the bone, which causes them to be periodically packed or completely reworked, and eventually, the bone may be lost so that implant placement will no longer be possible.
The installation of a dental implant is a surgical operation that can be comparedwith simple surgical manipulations, for example, tooth extraction.
