Zirconium Implant Treatment
Relevant information about Zirconium Implant Treatment.
- What does the treatment consist on
Zirconium implants are a new type of implants that are becoming very popular through the years, mainly because they present a lot of different benefits. Zirconium implants are chosen by the majority of the professionals because they have favorable physical, chemical and biological properties. This type of implant has another advantage that is the easiness of adaptation that it has; they are more likely to integrate to human body compared to other kinds of implants. The treatment consists on inserting in the mouth of the patient a zirconium implant, in order to solve many different problems, among them we could find patients who have lost all their teeth (edentulous) and need a complete restoration, and other cases that need replacing a fewer number of teeth.
- Which problem does the treatment solve
Zirconium implants are used to solve many different treatments and surgeries. They can be used in a complete restoration of a denture or for any dental surgery that implies the replacement by using an implant. Zirconium implants are made of a ceramic material called zirconia; zirconia is the dioxide of zirconium, a metal close to titanium in the periodic table, which presents similar biocompatibility properties. Using zirconia is becoming more popular nowadays due to the fact that it is cosmetically, much more aesthetic presenting a bright similar to the natural color of the teeth.
- How is the surgery performed
The treatment begins with the first visit to the dentist. He/she will decide which kind of dental implant you will be needing, this depends on the case, the different characteristic that it brings and also if the patient has gone under a previous dental surgery before. The procedure will be done with local or general anesthesia; as it was said before this decision will be directly related to the special needs that the patients brings to the professional. If he/she needs a complete reconstruction of his/her denture it is more probable that general anesthesia will be used, otherwise if it is a simple restoration or one or two teeth, as the procedure is short and more simple, probably the doctor may use local anesthesia only. Once the dentist has decided which is the treatment or surgery that the patient will need, the doctor will have to contact the dental laboratory in order to ask for the zirconia implants; these implants will be done according to the impressions that the dentist has taken, taking in account the size, the color, and the length of the teeth. Once the impressions are done, and the final implant has been made, the dentist will arrange the final appointment where these zirconia implants will be correctly situated.
- Surgery length: The surgery can last approximately from two to five hours, depending of the gravity of the treatment. The procedure will be done in one day, and there is no need to spend the night at the hospital; the patients are available to return to their normal activities after one day since the operation. Physical activities are not contra indicated, however in the majority of the cases the doctor will decide if the patient is able to continue doing exercise or not.
- How is the post surgery process
The post surgery process does not present a punctual complication. Taking into account that it is a surgery, the probability of having an infection exists. However, the infection can always be prevented and avoided by following strict rules that all professionals recommend. Among them, the main rule is to keep the teeth clean, during all the days, especially in the first two months after the surgical intervention. In cases where the patient has too much pain after the operation, the doctor will give a prescript medication in order to avoid uncomfortable sensation. After the surgical procedure the sensibility of the teeth increase, and this can be another cause of the pain felt by many patients. Antibiotics are, in the majority of the cases, used to avoid infections.
There are two main and common complications. One is related to the incorporation of the dental implant to the body of the patient. It has to be taken into account that putting an implant is a procedure that implies that the body will have to get accustomed and to incorporate a “strange body” to it. There are few cases where this process is not successful. Another problem is related to the loss that can appear in some dental implants. This is not a critical situation, and it can be solved by visiting the dentist. It is important for the patient to know that any disturbance felt after the operation must be reported to the dentist; by doing this, it will be easier to solve the problem and to give the patient a satisfactory answer. In the majority of the cases, the dentist will decide to make again the operation in order to resolve the problem and to give a better answer to the patient.
Zirconium implants present many advantages, among them we can find the fact that it is a replace for titanium implants that gives better periodontal health. Other benefits are that dental plaque is eliminated and also the possibility of having allergies to titanium. The surgery will allow the patient to solve a punctual dental problem by improving his/her dental health. Many researches in Europe have demonstrated that using zirconium implants is a better option for patients and for professionals. The reactions that the human body gives are in the majority of the cases positives, because this material has the possibility to integrate into the bone as well as titanium does. Many dental companies are working nowadays in the implementation of the use of zirconium implants.
- What does the surgery not do
The surgery is not related to the health of the gums; it is true that having a clean and good denture also affects gums, but using this type of dental implants is not focalized to solve any gum problem or any gum disease.
