Contraindications to implantation
But despite all its advantages, this surgical manipulation has a large number of contraindications, the main of which are:
• diabetes;
• diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs;
• oncological diseases;
• damage to bone tissue with cells in the upper/lower jaw;
• purulent-inflammatory diseases with localization in the maxillofacial area;
• acute infectious diseases.
• Mental disorders and deviations
• Connective tissue disease
Computed tomography (CT) of a segment or the entire jaw is a mandatory examination before planning the operation, with the help of which the dentist determines whether there is enough bone tissue, as well as the size and shape of the implant.
What else do you need to know about dental implants?
In some cases, when the volume of the bone is not enough for the installation of the implant, it is necessary to carry out additional bone-plastic operations, sinus lifting, and the use of bone-plastic materials.
After the implantation operation, the doctor will prescribe you medications and will select personal hygiene products. A few days after the operation, pain persists, swelling, hematomas (bruises) may appear, which is a normal reaction of the body to surgical intervention.
RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE PATIENT IN PREPARATION FOR IMPLANTATION
At the House of Dentistry dental clinic, the doctor gives recommendations during the consultation, which will help to undergo dental implants as well as possible.
• give up alcoholic beverages and smoking a few days before the date of implantation;
• do not overeat before dental implantation, but also do not come hungry - food should be light;
• several hours before the start of the procedure, do not drink a lot of liquid;
• after the procedure, it is better not to get behind the wheel for some time;
• also on the day of dental implantation, you should take the maximum day off, and spend the day at home calmly after the procedure.
PATIENT RECOMMENDATIONS AFTER TEETH IMPLANTATION
1. When the implantation of the teeth has already taken place, it is necessary to drink a pain reliever and, if possible, apply something cool to the implantation site (outside).
2. In the first hours, completely exclude food, during the week eat soft, not hot food, and preferably do not chew on the side of the implants at all.
3. Carry out careful oral hygiene every day and take the necessary medicines in accordance with the recommendations of the attending physician.
4. Refrain from physical activity during the first seven to ten days.
Why you can not postpone the implantation of teeth
When one tooth or several teeth are missing, this problem is not only aesthetic, but also functional in nature. If you do not dare to implant for a long time, the consequences can be sad.
Here are the problems that can arise as a result of missing a tooth or several teeth:
• Psychological discomfort and self-doubt. People familiar with such a problem experience complexes and often reflexively cover their mouths with their hands. A wide smile and a sincere laugh also become a real problem, as one does not want to once again demonstrate the absence of teeth.
• Change in facial features. Quite quickly, you can notice how the corners of the mouth begin to "slide" down, the chin and nasolabial folds become more pronounced, and the lips sink.
• Distortion of the tooth row. Those teeth that are located near the cavities (the places where the currently missing teeth used to be) no longer have a point of support and begin to loosen. The entire tooth row shifts, because there is free space. As a result, the teeth are crooked, the bite changes.
• Destruction of the tooth structure. Due to the shift of the tooth row, gaps are formed between the teeth, in which food gets stuck, as a result of which caries and other diseases develop.
• Destruction of gums and bone. In the place where there is no tooth, there is a thinning of the epithelium and destruction of the bone. If you delay dental implantation for too long, this procedure can be very difficult or impossible.
• Speech disorders. The absence of even one tooth (especially the front one) can lead to impaired pronunciation of sounds. If several teeth are missing, this can lead to serious problems with articulation.
• Development of diseases of the digestive tract. The relationship between the condition of the teeth and the digestive system has long been understood and known. If part of the teeth, especially the chewing teeth, is missing, food is not crushed properly. This can lead to digestive problems, as well as the need to give up some of the most solid foods.
It is known that teeth do not regenerate on their own. It is better not to delay the implantation of teeth, if such a need arose, because the longer the teeth are missing, the more difficult it is to carry out the necessary procedure. In some cases, it even becomes impossible. In addition, the neglect of the situation affects the cost of dental implantation.
