Today, dental implants are a common procedure that many people resort to to solve problems related to fillings, cleaning, and other treatments.
This process involves replacing damaged or missing tooth roots with metal supports, replacing the missing teeth with artificial teeth that closely resemble natural teeth and perform their function properly.
Before performing dental implants, the doctor performs some tests and procedures to ensure that there are no contraindications, in addition to evaluating the strength of the jaw bone and its ability to accommodate the implant. These preparations include:
Conduct a comprehensive examination of the teeth and jaws using X-rays.
A comprehensive assessment of the condition of the teeth to ensure that dental implants are the most suitable option for the patient.
Treat any gum problems, such as infections, before starting the transplant process.
Take measurements of the tooth to be implanted.
To maintain the health of the implanted teeth and avoid any complications, the patient must adhere to the following tips:
Do not eat for at least two hours after transplantation.
Take the medications recommended by the doctor at the specified times.
Cleaning teeth daily.
Avoid smoking.
Follow up on regular appointments with the doctor.
In general, dental implants do not require much prior preparation. Here's what you can expect when you visit the dentist for the procedure:
The doctor will conduct a comprehensive oral examination to identify any other problems such as cavities, gingivitis, infections, etc.
The doctor will order an X-ray of the mouth, which will allow him to better understand the condition. Identifying problems with the jaw bones with the naked eye can be difficult, so a comprehensive examination using an X-ray is necessary.
The root placement step comes after applying local anesthesia. Before inserting the root, the doctor will make a small hole in the gum to reach the jawbone, where the root will be installed.
When the root is inserted, the doctor will close the gum opening, and you will have to wait until fusion occurs between the jawbone and the titanium root.
Once your jaw has healed, your doctor will place the abutment and then the crown.
After treatment, there is not much to do except follow a strict oral hygiene routine, especially after the root placement. This helps reduce the risk of any infection.
Dr. Mohamed Hijab also recommends drinking cold drinks in the first week after placing the root because it reduces bleeding. Of course, it is best to avoid alcohol and tobacco because they are known to slow down healing rates. Otherwise, everything is simple and all you have to do is follow the instructions that the dentist will give you. .
It is important to know that there are some specifications that must be met by the person undergoing dental implant surgery, including:
There are no diseases that hinder the process of bone healing or gum healing, such as immunodeficiency diseases or receiving radiotherapy for cancer patients.
Do not take medications that prevent bone healing.
The presence of a sufficient amount of bone in the jaw to ensure the stability of the implanted part, or the ability to perform jaw bone transplantation if necessary. Bone transplantation may be resorted to in cases such as insufficient bone thickness or being too soft.
In addition, the person wishing to undergo an implant must inform the doctor of any medical conditions he has, as well as all medications and supplements he is taking. He should also inform the doctor of any previous dental implant operations, if any, as the doctor may prescribe antibiotics as a preventive measure against Infections.
Regarding diabetes, it should be noted that diabetics have a higher failure rate in dental implant operations. Some doctors may refrain from performing the procedure on them, due to the difficulty in wound healing compared to others.
Also, people with osteoporosis may have difficulty with bone healing, making dental implants an inappropriate option for them.
As for smokers, especially those who smoke more than ten cigarettes per day, they are considered ineligible for dental implants due to the high failure rate. In addition, the following people are considered ineligible for dental implant surgery or are at risk of implant failure:
Alcoholics.
Cancer patients.
Heart patients.
Patients with high blood pressure.
