Indications for dental implantation

Indications for dental implantation

• The most important indication for dental implantation is a single defect with intact dentition, i.e. healthy adjacent teeth. This means that the basic premise for use single dental implant is the ability of healthy adjacent teeth and the desire to keep them, for example, not to grind them under crowns bridges and other structures.

Another indication is limited dentition defects. If you missed 2-3 teeth in a row, then you can restore them by dental implants. In this case, there are several variants that give creative freedom for the dentist and patient to choice. Indications for terminal dentition defects, i.e. when the last teeth in the row are absent. This type of defect caused and continues to cause difficulties for other types of prosthesis, because for classical prosthesis there is only one point of support in the form of the previous tooth. In this case there is no matter for the implant if there is presence of the teeth in implant’s environment.

• Complete absence of teeth, especially when a height of the alveolar processes. This is an indication for the implantation and for the removable prosthesis. But if a person is not morally ready to ensure that the night to remove the denture from the mouth, i.e. putting teeth on the shelf, then you can use dental implants as an alternative method of treatment.
• Intolerance to dentures due to increased sensitivity to acrylates (the main component of dentures) or in patients with severe gag reflex. In this situation everything is clear: if a man cannot wear dentures, it is often the only alternative – dental implants.
• Lack of functional occlusion (interdigitation) and, as a consequence, the occurrence of pain.
