Dental implants: indications, Osstem implants, patient reviews

Dental implantationToday, the most effective way to restore lost teeth is implantation. The dental structure is installed in the place where the patient's tooth used to be, surgically. After that, within a month or two, the bone tissue and the implant “merge”.

In order to avoid allergic reactions and complications, you need to contact a good specialist and select an implant from proven manufacturers. In most cases, reviews of titanium structures are positive. Many dental clinics in Russia work with Korean manufacturers Osstemwhose products have a good ratio of high quality and affordable prices.

Indications for implantation

It is necessary to restore teeth. Otherwise, the bone tissue at the site of the lost tooth will begin to soften, with the result that the growing teeth will shift and grind down due to the increased load on them, the bite will become wrong, the cheeks will sink, and the face will look old. Therefore, doctors advise as soon as possible to install an artificial prosthesis.

The indication for implantation is:

  • the absence of one or more teeth;
  • lack of chewing teeth;
  • improved fixation of removable dentures;
  • complete absence of teeth and unwillingness to wear removable dentures;
  • intolerance to removable dentures in the absence of teeth.

In order to properly install a dental implant, the patient must have a good bone base. With its atrophy, it is practically impossible to implant an artificial prosthesis. In this case, experts increase the amount of bone tissue with the help of the operation - sinus lift.

Methods for the installation of dental implants

The choice of the method with which the implantation will be carried out depends on the capabilities of the clinic, the indications and the individual characteristics of the patient. The main methods are:

  • simultaneous installation design;
  • classical implantation;
  • installation of implants without increasing bone tissue.

Simultaneous implantation

Dental implantsThis is a fairly quick operation in which tooth extraction is combined with the installation of a dental prosthesis. Its essence is to put a titanium rod in the place of the removed root and put a temporary crown on it. After that, the patient carefully selected and prepared a permanent crown, which installed in a few weeks. But in order to make a quick implantation of the teeth, at the time of the operation, the patient should not have inflammatory processes, tartar and caries.

Classical implantation

In difficult cases, when the tooth was lost several months ago, and there is a lack of bone tissue, dental constructions are established in the classical way. It may take several months to complete this procedure.

An artificial prosthesis is installed on the accrued bone only after five months. After he settles down, he puts on a permanent crown.

Implant installation without bone buildup

More than ten years ago was developed 4 D implantology, with which dental prostheses can be implanted with a minimum thickness of bone tissue.For this purpose, special constructions are used, which are installed immediately after tooth extraction. You can wear permanent crowns on them already on the third day.

Unfortunately, this method is not practiced in all Russian dental clinics, so few people know about it.

What are implants?

Dental prosthesis is selected depending on the condition of the dental system patient and from the method of prosthetics:

  1. Dental implantation optionEndodontic stabilized rods are used in a one-step method. They are installed through the top of the root.
  2. Root-shaped prostheses are used with a sufficient amount of bone tissue.
  3. Subperiosteal constructions are used in the resorption of bone tissue.
  4. Intra mucous implants are made of plastic and are used on too small areas of the bone.
  5. Plate rods are selected for installation in narrow bones.
  6. Mini implants are small titanium screws that fix a removable prosthesis.
  7. Disc dental prostheses are used in case you need to quickly carry out prosthetics or if it is not possible to install screw structures.

Since dental implantation is very popular, a wide variety of manufacturers from different countries make various dental constructions and elements for them. Dentists in their reviews note high quality dental prostheses Osstem.

Korean Osstem Implants

The main reason for choosing the designs of the Korean manufacturer is a high class of products and a bargain price. Osstem implants have the following features:

  1. Multifunctionality. The company produces various designs that differ in their characteristics and are made of different materials. Therefore, it is possible to install prostheses from the manufacturer Osstem at any degree of bone tissue density.
  2. The convenience of use. In addition to implants, the manufacturer offers components for them. These are gum formers, entables, dummy screws, and more. For dentists, Osstem produces medical instruments and surgical kits that are used in prosthetics.
  3. Special coating. The body of the product Osstem is subjected to special treatment, after which pits and microcraters are formed on its surface. Such a rod is implanted faster, and the load on it can be carried out on the day of surgery.
  4. Unique design. The designs feature a spiral edge and one-step self-cutting thread. This helps installation accuracy and easy change of direction. Such a prosthesis will not put pressure on the cortical tissue and will not cause its necrosis.
  5. Installation Information. The manufacturer of dental structures Osstem for each type of implant offers detailed instructions for its installation, and what parts can be used and combined with each other. This is very important for patients who are preparing for prosthetics and hope for a good result.
  6. Durability and warranty. According to the assurances of manufacturers and reviews of dentists, Osstem products are distinguished by reliability and quality. The company itself on the use of implants gives a lifetime warranty.

Advantages and disadvantages

Along with features, Korean implants have many advantages:

  • Disadvantages of dental implantsminimal risk of rejection;
  • possibility of fast load;
  • affordable cost;
  • increased primary stability;
  • possibility of installation in the bone of any quality;
  • long service life.

As practice has shown, the use of Osstem dental prostheses by patients for more than ten years did not cause any problems.

The disadvantages of this system are only that at the moment it is not very common in our country. Osstem implants can offer only a few dental clinics.

Patient Reviews

On the procedure for implanting teeth on the Internet reviews of patients mostly positive. But there are also negative reviews of patients dissatisfied with the procedure and quality of implants.

Positive reviews

What implants areTo treat teeth is always not enough time or money. As a result, the side tooth was completely destroyed, and only its roots remained. I was removed from the dental clinic, and about six months I went without a tooth. It was very unpleasant, and I decided to turn to an implantologist. In the clinic, I was alarmed by the fact that the implantologist was putting the prosthesis, and another doctor would be the prosthesis. And who is responsible for the implant is completely incomprehensible. I decided to go to a private office. There they assured me that they would conclude a contract, and if the dental construction did not take root, then they would replace it for free. In addition, one and the same doctor deals with all prosthetics and is responsible for implants.

I had three injections before the operation, and I did not feel painneither when the gum was cut and stitched, nor when the bone was drilled. To avoid swelling and infections, the doctor ordered me to apply cold and drink antibiotics. As soon as the prick action passed, a feeling of burst appeared in the bone. The doctor explained that this was due to my not very dense bone, in which the rod was installed securely. I drank a pain pill and slept quietly until the morning. Then two more days I spent on drinking antibiotics and everything calmed down. It was quite tolerable. Only a little gum ached at the site of the incision.

The crown was installed by the same doctor. I already went with my tooth two weeks after the operation. While I'm afraid to chew on it strongly, but I hope I will get used to it in time. Of course, the price of implants is high, but overall impression is good. I do not advise to read reviews that write that this is a terrible operation. I think that everything depends on the doctor and the human body itself. Therefore, before you sit in a chair - go around several clinics and select the best.

My grandmother had Osstem implants installed. The implantation went well, the installation itself was absolutely not felt, and there were no side effects. Artificial prostheses withstand various loads perfectly. Yes, the manufacturer gives them lifetime warranty. I would also like to add that much also depends on the doctor. Products of excellent quality plus professional good prosthetist result in beautiful and reliable teeth.

What patients say about implantsLast year, a tooth was removed in my upper jaw. The reason for this was acute periodontitis. Three months later, when my jaw completely healed, I decided to put a dental prosthesis in place of the missing tooth. As it turned out, to put implants is a long time and quite expensive. At the same time, it is better not to lose time, because degenerative changes begin in the jaw bone, and it will be impossible to insert the implant.

First of all, my dentist ordered me to take pictures of the teeth from all sides. According to him, he determined that no contraindications for implantationand you can proceed to the procedure. On the appointed day, I was asked to rinse my mouth with chlorhexidine and underwent a painkiller injection. Then, with a kind of miniature screwdriver with a tool, they made two clicks in a couple of minutes and sewed up the gum. I was prescribed antibiotics for a week and was told to wait for healing. On the ninth day after installing the implant, I went to the doctor a second time. I thought that they would remove the stitches, but it turned out that they had already untied themselves and I swallowed them.

For complete implantation into the implant bone, it is necessary to wait half a year. Then a third visit to the doctor, during which the dentist, under anesthesia, incises the gum and twists the metal rod. For everything to heal, you need another two weeks. This time my gum has been blooming all evening. Then for another three days, she didn’t get very much drunk, and it was all over. I did not take pain pills.

During the fourth visit to the doctor, my impressions were taken from my jaw, and the next time I tried on my artificial tooth. is he turned out as natural and in a number of teeth completely invisible. Unnatural features can be found when viewed in detail from close range. I got used to the crown and stopped feeling it the very first day. I am very pleased with the work of the doctors and its result. In my review, I want to note that the whole procedure, along with antibiotics and pictures, cost me about 40,000 rubles.

In my review I want to say that you should not put dental bridges! Not only is the nearby teeth sharpening for them, but it is already a stone age. My husband put implants in a good clinic. There were no complications, and he is very pleased with the result. Before inserting the implant, the patient should take a panoramic picture and see if there are any contraindications to the operation. Everything is very individual, and in some cases it is impossible to install artificial structures. After the titanium pin is screwed in, must survive for at least two months. And only then you can put a permanent crown on it. The main thing is to find a good specialist, and then everything will be fine.

Implant installationTwo days before a serious business trip fell and lost a front tooth. Not knowing what to do, I called the hotline, where I was advised to have express implantation. That is, an artificial denture is installed on the same day. This procedure was enough comfortable, fast and painless. True, in a year it will be necessary to change the crown, but it is still better than walking without a tooth.

The process of restoring teeth sooner or later occurs in almost everyone. In dentistry, prosthetics on bridges or implantation is offered. But my bridges cause association with old grandmothers, so I chose implants. And then the question arose in the price. I myself live in a large city, and my relatives - in the province. And when I learned from them that the prosthetic procedure there was much cheaper, I went to visit them.

The clinic has chosen on the recommendation of friends. The prosthetist and the surgeon consulted me immediately. It was necessary only to choose an implant. We were offered foreign and domestic. We chose Swedish designs that have a good survival rate, and their manufacturers give a guarantee for 20 years. The procedure itself is divided into trips to the surgeon and prosthetists. When I first came to the surgeon, I was very nervous. I was given a soothing cocktail, put in a chair, put on glasses and put a pillow under my head. The implant was inserted under local anesthesia. So I did not even feel the injection. After the operation, they gave him a cold pad to hold on his cheek. They said that after the procedure there may be edema, so I took time off from work.

I had no edema, only a slight aching pain. I drank painkillers and antibiotics that the surgeon prescribed for me. A week later, I was removed the stitches and was told to come in four months, when the denture would take root completely. Four months later, the prosthetist screwed the shaper and set the crown, which practically does not differ from my teeth. Highly recommend implantation.

Negative patient reviews

What patients say about implantsI read about the implantation of a lot of good reviews, but, apparently, I was not lucky with the clinic. Already during the first procedure me as if it had passed through the current. It turns out that when the doctor installed the screw, he cut off the nerve endings. After the operation, I could not understand everything when the anesthesia was already gone, but it turned out that the nerve endings were damaged. On the left side of the lip and under it, I lost sensitivity. The doctor assured me that everything will be restored literally in two months. A year has passed, but I still do not feel anything, only my sensations have changed a little.

I was given an abutment only seven months later. The clinic postponed everything and postponed this procedure. And even installing a crown without incident has not done. The first crown was lost, and I had to come to the prosthetist once again. The procedure was painful. To me even opened gum. For some reason, the crown itself turned out to be with a hole in the middle. It was filled with seal and undermined. A month has passed, but I still feel it. In the same clinic, I met a woman who is already the third implant there and is very pleased. Apparently, everything is individual. I think the best option, if you can, is to save your teeth or put crowns on them.

For twenty years I lived without a tooth and everything was fine. But the dentist persuaded me to put an artificial prosthesis, promising that I would walk with him for about fifteen years and not know grief. Five years have passed since then. First the gum started to hurt, then implant began to stagger. In this case, the sensations were very unpleasant.

I thought that perhaps the crown had loosened and went to the dental clinic. It turned out that my bone suddenly began to reject the dental structure. The doctor pulled out the implant together with the pin with his hands. They said that such a case is one in a million. As a result, I spent forty thousand on just five years to walk with normal teeth. Now, as in previous years, I go without a tooth. That such a sad story happened to me.

Imptalny teethLast year I went to the dentist to remove the root, and at the same time to consult about the implantation. Having examined me, the doctor said that the prosthesis can be installed immediately after removing the root. On the appointed day did so. In the hollow sprinkled special dental crumbs Dent. The most unpleasant process was stitching gums. To me put four stitches. After the procedure, they gave me an ice bag and took a picture in which everything was fine. For three days, the doctor prescribed antibiotics, rinsing chamomile and chlorhexidine. Not recommended to load the gums, advised to eat only soft food.

In the first two days, his cheek just swelled a little, and a bruise appeared. Then the pain began to intensify, and instead of three days, I drank antibiotics for a week. From pain did not help any pills. I decided to appear to the doctor who said that everything is normal. But I felt a seal on the gum! When the stitches were removed, she again complained of pain. And I was again assured that after the operation it happens. They said that now it is necessary to come to the clinic only after six months, after the implant has taken root.

The gum in the place where the prosthesis was installed, was still sick for a month. And one night I woke up because I felt something sticking out of my gums. It turned out that it came out implant. In the morning I went to the surgeon, he said that we would insert the new design in two months, when the gum healed. I decided to go to the dentist-therapist, because a month later my gum remained swollen and red. The doctor put pressure on her, and there was pus. Now do the rinse and put the dental gel. Most likely, I will no longer decide on the second procedure of installing the implant.
