Maintenance of Hygiene for a Minidentalimplant Bridge

Gambar
Maintenance of hygiene for a bridge is important. This minidentalimplant bridge can be flossed anteriorly and posteriorly and also in between the implant abutments. The bridge is designed so that the interproximal clefts are generally between the mini dental implants. Thus it is important not only to place the minis parallel but also precisely in the middle of where a normal tooth is expected to be. This will lend itself to ease of bridge design for the technician as well as ease of flossing in between the implants with the help of a bridge cleaner. The narrow diameter of the minis results in a corresponding narrow transmucosal passage of the dental implant as it traverses the gum and emerges into the mouth. Logically then, it will have a lower chance of infection and peri-implantitis as compared to conventional larger diameter implants especially accompanied by an aesthetic emergence profile that demands a broader transmucosal passage especially at the point where it emerges into t...

Numbness After Implants | OsseoNews Discussions on Dental Implants

Numbness After Implants | OsseoNews Discussions on Dental Implants : "Dr Amayev September 11th, 2006 No matter what kind of surgeons you are anything could happen .Of course we must try to ovoid any possible complication to our patient and treat them with respect but sometimes complication may happen. In order to avoid any possible complication we should just stop what we are doing as been previously mention by Dr Kfchow. I don’t believe that there is a dentist or another type of medical professional or any other profession who never had a complication. We all humans and if we did something we have to try to resolve and help that patient in any possible way if we can.

If you didn’t I am very happy for both of you. Never say this may not happen to you ,look in a future you still practicing. Think about that. May be yo...

REMOVABLE FALSE TEETH FOR THE UPPER JAW

K. F. Chow BDS., FDSRCS   July 19th, 2010 If you are placing 5 conventional implants, you might as well place one more to make it 6 and have a fixed prosthesis. A fixed prosthesis will be more reliable than a removable one because there will be less pulling and pushing of the implant during removal and placement if a removable is used. And some will also convince you that 4 is enough….all on four. But if you are placing minis for a removable prosthesis, then place 6 for balance, three on each side between the centrals to the premolars. Place the longest you can and bicortical if possible, because the maxillary bone is softer….and therefore more piling is needed….yeah…like building a house….see. Bone augmentation is unnecessary and very difficult, as is suggested by Dr Richard Hughes. To raise the height of the maxillary ridge, you will have to use a titanium mesh with bone graft mixed with bone marrow…..and it will take a much longer time, incur more pain to the mouth as well as th...
