When you lost your natural teeth, you plan to get fixed dental prosthesis because you don’t prefer the removable one and you don’t want to sacrfice your natural teeth for preparation to be abumtents. DENTAL IMPLANTS is your choice.

SINGLE TOOTH IMPLANT are consisted of 3 component parts
1.) ROOT FORM IMPLANT
2.) ABUTMENT&SCREW
3.) CROWN

ROOT FORM IMPLANT:
ROOT FORM IMPLANT is ENDOSTEAL IMPLANT which is designed for letting the bone support. “ROOT FORM IMPLANT” have approved by the NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF
HEALTH CONSENSUS STATEMENT OF DENTAL IMPLANTS and THE
AMERICAN ACADEMY OF IMPLANT DENTISTRY in 1988
Now Implant are made from TITANIUM ALLOYS. These material are seperated in 2 types

1.) 99+ Ti: consisted of more than 99%Titanium and seperated in 4 grades,
Depend on the concentration of TITANIUM TITANIUM (Modulus of Elasticity or Stiffness of Titanium) = 14,000,000 psi (14x106 pounds per inch squared)
2.) 90Ti-6Al-4V: มีTITANIUM90%, ALUMINIUM 6%, VANADIUM 4%
TITANIUM (Modulus of Elasticity or Stiffness of Titanium)
= 17,000,000 psi (17x106 pounds per inch squared)

Biting Force:
a.) Front teeth area= 35-50 psi
b.) Canine teeth area= 47-100 psi
c.) Molar teeth area= 127-250 psi

ROOT FORM IMPLANT had the varieties of LENGTH and DIAMETER Its goal is appropriate for each tooth which can be gained good esthetic and great strength in long term results.

ABUTMENT&SCREW
-ABUTMENT is the part which is connected with the implant fixture with SCREW
-SCREW is tighten for make 2parts (Implant +Abutment) locked together.

The connection area of Implant and Abutment is above ALVEOLAR BONE CREST and normally is beneath the gum margin slightly (SUB-GINGIVAL). The upper part of implant-abutment connection is covered with CROWN by cementation
CROWN
It’s like the crown design which is made in natural teeth process.
1.) Most of the people use PORCELAIN FUSED TO METAL CROWN
2.) Now we use ALL CERAMIC CROWN for beauty 3.) We often use FULL METAL CROWN in case of hard biting especially in molar areas.

Steps for Implant Treatment
1.) STUDY MODEL
2.) X-Ray:
- a.] PANORAMIC FILM
- b.] PERIAPICAL FILM
3.) From 1,2 information gathering will help us for planning. We will concern about
-OCCLUSION -CROWN HEIGHT&WIDTH
-POSITION
After this, we can define the implant length and diameter including the axis. The step of Implant placement can be done with the good plan.
4.) Waiting for Osseointegration 2-6months (depend on the quality and quantity of bone)
5.) Take impression implant ‘s position for making final restorations. This step will be taken 4-7days.
6.) Connect ABUTMENT and Implant fixture with Screw
7.) Crown cementation
