What is Dental Implant?

It is an advanced medical technology for the treatment of tooth loss. A titanium implant is

implanted in the toothless area of the jawbone. The jawbone fuses with the titamium surface

providing a strong anchorage for the implant. The implant functions as a support for the dental

prosthesis constructed over it.

What are the benefits of Dental Implants?

It can treat cases untreatable with conventional methods of dental bridges and dentures.

It prevents further resorption of the jaw bone following tooth loss.

It can perfectly restore chewing function

It avoids cutting down and overloading the natural teeth occurring with conventional

means of replacing tooth loss.

It helps restore a patient's self-esteem and confidence since it gives the feeling of

regaining the real teeth.

It functions better than conventional dental bridges and dentures.

It gives superior aesthetic results.

Am I a suitable candidate for Dental Implant?

You will be a suitable candidate for oral implant if you fulfill the following requirements:

You must be medically fit to undergo ordinary surgery.

You jaw must have enough bone to support the implant.

(If not, bone grafting may be required)

There must be enough space to accommodate the prosthesis over the implant.

You must understand what the treatment can offer.

You must realize to what extend the treatment can meet your expectations.

Should I consider Dental Implants?

You should consider oral Implant when:

You do not want to have your natural teeth cut down which is required in making your

conventional dental bridge.

You cannot wear or chew well with your denture.

You cannot tolerate a denture in your mouth.

You do not want to damage your remaining teeth from wearing a partial denture.

You have lost your back teeth making it impossible to construct a conventional dental

bridge.

You have a long toothless spam which is not indicated for making a conventional dental

bridge.

You want superior aesthetic results with your tooth replacement.

You want the most effective way to restoring your chewing function.

What is involved in the implant procedure?

Once you and your doctor have identified your treatment plan, having a dental implant placed

can be as simple following

Step1

An Dental Implant is placed into your jawbone.

The operation is performed under aseptic condition at Aggarwal Dental Implant Centre

with proper facilities and condition for oral implant surgery.

Local anaesthesia is given for pain control during the operation. Intravenous sedation can

be given if necessary. Pain which may occur after the operation can be effectively

controlled with oral medications.

Step2 This part of the implant treatment does not require anaesthesia. Once the implant has

integrated into your jawbone, in a simple procedure, the implant is uncovered and a post

is attached to it. Impressions (models) of your upper and lower jaws are taken and sent to

a laboratory for the creation of your new tooth/teeth.

Step3

Your new tooth/teeth are atttached to the implant posts and are fully functional.

What should I expect after treatment?

Dental implants will require the same care as your natural teeth to keep your implant healthy,

proper brushing and flossing still apply!

How successful is the treatment?

Modern oral implants are highly successful with the success rate higher than 95%.

How long can an implant last ?

In view of the high success modern implant treatment a dental implant can be considered as a

long lasting permanent tooth that does not need to be changed.

Aggarwal Dental Implant Centre (ADIC ) is an integrated unit of Aggarwal Dental clinic within

the same premises. The centre is designed to impart implant training to other Dentists of north

India and to provide state of the art Dental Implant services at par with international standard to

the people of North India particularly Punjab.

ADIC has so far done around 750 successful implant placement. Some of the cases done at

ADIC are shown

Full Mouth Implants (Case1 : 42 yr female)

This 42 yr female patient reported with grossly carious and mobile teeth needing extraction .

After removal of all the teeth 8 implants were inserted in upper jaw and 8 in the lower jaw in two

surgeries one week apart.

Patient was given temporary Dentures . After 4 months, full mouth bridges were given on the

implants.

The implant supported bridges are in service for 5 years now.

Full Mouth Rehabilitation (Case2 : 65 yr male)

This 65 yr male is reported with instability of dentures and wanted fixed replacement.

Fixed bridges were not possible because of inadequate support from existing teeth.

6 implants in the upper jaw and 4 in the lower jaw were inserted to replace 14 teeth in upper jaw

and 4 teeth in the lower jaw. Four lower front teeth were replaced with a 4 unit bridge supported

on two lateral incisors.

Case 1

Making of a successful complete denture has always been a very challenging task. In spite of the

best effort on the part of Dentist, most of the patients are unhappy because of lack of retention ,

stability and support. Patients frequently complains of denture ulceration because of movement

of Dentures during function. Difficult Phonetics and compromised aesthetics are other

complaints. One of the options to treat such patients is implant supported fixed restoration. But

this option is not always possible because of high cost or lack of adequate bone height and width

in resorbed ridges. Implant overdentures are the treatment of choice for such cases. Some of the

advantages of overdentures are

Minimal bone resorption of residual ridge

Under a normal denture average bone resorption is 4mm per year compared to 1mm

under an overdenture.

An overdenture provide greater support of the lip and soft tissue of the face then a fixed

prosthesis

Denture teeth are more esthetic then PFM

Less lateral movement as compared to a normal denture which move about 10 mm during

function.

Chewing efficiency improve by 20 % and maximum occlusal load by 300%.

Less soft tissue coverage is needed.

Hygiene conditions and home maintenance is improved with an overdenture compared to

a fixed prosthesis

Prosthesis is easier to repair than a fixed prosthesis.

Reduced cost to the patient.

Hemimandibulectomy and maxillectomy patients can be rehabilitated using implant

overdenture.

Overdenture may be removed at bedtime to reduce the effect of nocturnal parafunction.

Tongue and perioral musculature may resume a more natural position as they are no

longer required to limit denture movement.

Indications for Implant Overdentures

Severely resorbed ridges

Anatomically Deficient ridges due to previous disease or trauma

Patients unable to tolerate maxillary denture due to gag reflex

Patient’s demand for more retention stability and support for lower prosthesis

Overdentures at Aggarwal Dental Clinic are made using MIB Implants from Anthogyr a french

company . For more details visit www.anthogyr.com
