Often the patient who has applied to the clinic for prosthetics, hears the "verdict" of the dentist, which sounds frighteningly. So, for example, in the absence of a single tooth, you can suggest removing the nerves from the two adjacent ones, grinding them and opening them with crowns, in order to fill the gap with a bridge. Equally unattractive is the proposal to make a removable denture in the absence of chewing teeth.

Are there any other solutions that would not affect the available teeth and were not removable at the same time?.

Let's consider in more detail, from what stages the process of replenishment of a missing tooth by an implant.

First, the patient is examined, which includes:.

- computer tomogram of jaws;.

- blood test for clotting;.

- blood test for sugar;.

- blood chemistry;.

- blood test for HIV and hepatitis.

Based on the results of the tests, the implant surgeon decides on the possibility of performing the operation, and on a tomogram (layered "photos" of bones) about how the nerves pass and other anatomical structures are located, which allows choosing the optimal length and thickness of the implant.

With "lack of bone" on the upper jaw can be assigned additional manipulation - open or closed sine lifting. It's not scary and it does not hurt. This will only somewhat delay the patient's meeting with his new teeth, since the formation of bone tissue takes time.

If the bone tissue is sufficient, then the implant placement can be scheduled for the day and hour closest to the patient and the implant surgeon.

The operation is absolutely standard and in technique it resembles screwing the screw into the wall, with the difference that the surgeon knows exactly how and with what speed the implant should be placed.

Stitches after surgery are removed after a week. Further, the patient for several months is separated from his doctor, since the implant must take root.

At the appointed time, the patient is invited to the clinic where, in the case of complete implantation, a crown is made.

Sometimes it happens that the patient has enough bones, but the teeth are absent for so long that the nature, which, as is known, does not tolerate emptiness, has already begun to deal with the defect in its own way: the teeth of the opposite jaw. In dentistry, this is called the Popov-Godon phenomenon.

Care of the prosthesis is no different from caring for ordinary teeth, so simple compliance with hygiene rules and the absence of any disease provides a very long service prosthesis.

Previously, the fate of such an outstretched teeth was unambiguous: remove nerves and cover with crowns. Now this barbarism has come to be replaced (correction of bite).
