It is easy to put a dental implant? Altogether, the dental implantology is one of the most difficult specialties within dentistry requiring a specialized postgraduate training of three years in an accredited Center. In addition is a displina in told evolution. Today dental implants have changed a lot, no longer a simple screw. In fact there are several types of implants and they can be classified in different ways according to different parameters. This variety of implants commercially available us permitide specialists choose with great rigor and scientific way the type of implants that adapt improvement each situation implantology is based on osseointegration, which is an extraordinary bond strength between titanium and bone that surrounds it. This allows that a tooth or teeth replacements are strongly attached, stable, and with a very durable base. All this in a way comfortable, beautiful and totally biocompatible, i.e., without any possibility of rejection.

To know about implantology also there is that dominate the other specialties of Dentistry: the prosthesis of course, restorative dentistry (for pode diagnose correctly the need, for example removing or keeping a tooth) and orthodontics (to know if we’re putting an implant in the place where in the future will go a tooth that has to move an orthodontist). But most important specialty which should dominate the implantology is the dental periodontics, since we are today facing cases of periimplantitis increasingly more frequently, and patients suffering from periodontal disease (pyorrhea) are more predisposed to contaminate their implant with periodontal infection. So the Implantologists must possess the minimum knowledge to a correct diagnosis of the presence of periodontal disease. We must also advise the patient of the importance of tobacco in the short and long term survival of implants. Likewise, there are to educate the patient on oral hygiene to keep their implants, your teeth and your prosthesis as long as possible.

Parameters for the selection of an implant dental I would like to comment on some parameters are chosen on the basis of which the implants during a case of dental implantology planning: 1.-According to its shape may be tapered or straight, can have thread as the screws or be smooth, and then with various connections to the Crown. According to its surface, they can be in many ways; as an example of rough surface (microarenadas or recorded acid), or smooth, treated with fluorine or hydroxyapatite, etc.. This is one of the most differentiating aspects, in my opinion, between the various commercial houses sold dental implants. The surface, some of the best brands (also more expensive), decisively influences the time of osseointegration, very valuable, because the sooner you finish this period, before Crowns can be put to those implants. It is also a period in which the implant is exposed to possible movements that might jeopardize its survival. According to your size may have also different implant diameters and lengths, useful to circumvent various anatomical structures, either nerves or cavities within the bone which will be hosted. 2 But we can also divide the type of implantology we do according to the time of placement when previously there is to extract a tooth.

If placed immediately after tooth extraction, or expected when the alveolus remnant in the bone after extraction heals (approximately 4 months). Call them the first, unlike the conventional, immediate-post-extraction implants. These immediate implants after extraction have the advantage that saves considerable time, and the disadvantage that are more susceptible to failure during the osseointegration period because they have virtually no primary stability. There are obviously very well assess the feasibility in each case 3.-also can be classified according to whether dental implants when placed head is left of the implant hovering by the gingiva or not. An implant of two phases It would mean that the implant is completely buried beneath the gingiva (1fase) and more forward when it goes to the metal/porcelain Crown, a small incision in the gum is made for access to the implant and be able to screw the Crown back in to the same (2fase).
