In which cases is it possible?
Apart from children and teenagers, implants are possible up to a high age. Being of good health is necessary, no pyschic defects, a normal wound healing, and a minimum of jawbone substance. The last mentioned can also be built up.
Single denture
Ordinary denture (bridge):
Advantages:- Faster to be put into practise
- Possible if there are infected adjacent teeth
- At esthetic problems
Implant care (dental crown)
Advantages:
- No smoothening of healthy teeth
- A better distributon of the biting force
- Extensionable if there a further losses of teeth
- No atrophy in the area of the gap
- High safety, high durability
Replacement of more than one tooth
Replacement of more than one tooth (partial denture)
- Cover of the palate mostly essential
- Atrophy of the jawbone by pressure of prothesis
- Occasional disturbance of taste
- Danger of injury by braces
- Occasional allergic reactions
Alternatives with implants (dental crowns or bridge work)
- Natural function (axial forces)
- No smoothing of the teeth
- A better distribution of biting power on the jaw
- Natural aesthetic
- No synthetic prothesis - no allergies
Fixation of protheses
Ordinary denture (complete dental prothesis)
Disadvantages:
- Dysfunction at chewing and speaking
- Atrophy of the jawbone
- Weak fixation
- Loss of facial contour
Fixation of prothesis by four implants
No prothesis thanks to implantation
Bridge fixed by implants
Gum reduced by paradentosis, reconstructed ceramically.
What is necessary:
- At the maxilla (upper jaw) 6-8 implants
- At the mandible (lower jaw) 5-6 implants
