Dental Implants
Dental implants are artificial roots to replace missing teeth in the oral arch.
The placement of an implant should be carefully planned by the surgeon. First we need to get acquainted with the patient’s medical history and then move on to diagnostic tests for dental implants.
The surgeon should have digital and 3D images of the patient’s mouth and after that he will be able to plan in detail the placement, not only of an implant, but also of the bridge over the implants.
Placing the bridge over the implants is done with the same procedure as placing them over the real teeth.
“ALL ON 6” Technique
If you have lost all your teeth or have removable dentures, a very effective way to restore the feeling of having your teeth once again is the “All On 6” method.
Through this modern and innovative technique it is possible to place all teeth (12 or 14 teeth) in both the lower and upper jaw.
“ALL ON 4” Technique
- It is appropriate in cases where the patient suffers from periodontitis.
- The patient has no teeth in one of the jaws.
- The patient does not have sufficient jaw bone density.
Both techniques, such as placing a fixed prosthesis on four or six implants, are one way to remove removable dentures once and for all.
The choice between the techniques on six or four implants is influenced by the patient’s bone density, and other medical conditions he must meet.
