F.A.Q.
FAQ IMPLANTS CERAMIC
- Why choose implants?
The inclusion of installations in the home of the missing tooth is the best choice if there is enough bone and the patient's general condition is good. The artificial tooth returns functionality and prevents bone resorption. Furthermore, it allows a good chew and improves the quality of life.
- The implant is painful?
The surgery is performed under local anesthesia and with minimally invasive procedures (flapless) when the case permits. If the patient shall implement the recommendations of the dentist are minor annoyances.
- The insertion of implants is dangerous?
The modern implantology is scientifically proven and have processes and techniques well proven. The risks depend on the complexity of the case and the competence of the doctor. The consequences are rare if the operation is well planned.
- Zirconia implants are reliable?
The zirconium oxide is used for many years in orthopedics and for more than 15 years in dental implantology. The plants currently on the market are very reliable and certified by international bodies (ISO, CE, FDA). Are three times more resistant than the titanium implants.
- Why they are little known?
The plants in Zirconia are underused in Italy because the manufacturers are not on our territory and dentists are enabled even a few as they must go abroad to specialize in implantology ceramics.
- Because implants Zirconia cost more?
The Zirconia represents an evolution of modern implantology, the quality is very high, the production cycle is longer and wasteful. Therefore the final cost is adequate to the remarkable reliability and biocompatibility of the product.
- I suffer from nickel allergy can choose which system
In cases where there is a predisposition allergic linked to the metals it is desirable to choose materials immunologically neutral (Zirconia) since all of the titanium alloys contain impurities (Aluminum, Nickel, Vanadium and others) that can trigger adverse responses.
- Anyone can undergo implant surgery ceramics?
So that we can proceed to a dental implant surgery there must be general and local requirements. However the installation of zirconium oxide can also be used in patients with little bone and in patients allergic thus overcoming some relative contraindications.
- How long should I wait after surgery to chew
The time of osseointegration is different in each patient and can be evaluated with a device (Periotest). For safety, you prefer to wait six months for the upper jaw and four months for the mandible. Zirconia implants have a better biocompatibility and osteoinduction after the first few weeks after surgery allowing a load early.
- I suffer from periodontal disease, implants can cause problems
If your teeth are extracted bacterial flora intraoral become less aggressive. However, if the daily care is not careful you can have periimplantitis (inflammation around implants) with easy bleeding gums and bad breath. Very rare plants in Zirconia in not enabling the adhesion of bacterial plaque.
- The implants can be rejected?
The implants are foreign bodies inserted into the bone, therefore, in susceptible individuals and compromised immunity, they may not be accepted by the body. Currently, for the plant Zirconia success in time over 98% since the excellent biocompatibility and the technological evolution.
- What should I do before and after surgery?
Before the operation is well run a protocol of bio-immune stimulation to correct any weaknesses immune / metabolic and bring the body in perfect conditions for a good osseointegration. After surgery do compresses with ice, take antibiotics, painkillers and supplements, prefer only semi-liquid foods / cold and avoid efforts. In the following months it is recommended that a good oral hygiene, chewing delicate especially if the implants are immediately loaded and regularly bring the Bite if prescribed.
