Teeth Extraction

The main biological and biophysical process that has made dental implant therapy predictably successful for replacing missing teeth is Osseointegration. Teeth extraction is done for several purposes, often without any consideration for the preservation of the alveolar ridge. Alveolar bone post-extraction changes have been estimated to cause a 50% decrease in alveolar bone buccolingual width, and a further loss in height. This review will go through various techniques of ARP and bone regeneration techniques and explore the best way to obtain the best outcomes after implant placement.

Knowledge And Attitude

ABSTRACT Background Treatment with dental implants has become increasingly important in the range of prosthodontic treatment. Significant improvements in oral rehabilitation particularly in edentulous individuals have been seen. In Adhiparasakthi Dental College, Melmaruvathur, a survey was made to evaluate awareness among patients for dental implants, their level of knowledge, and attitude toward replacement of missing teeth by dental implants. Materials and methods A survey of 480 people was conducted through a printed questionnaire and completed by willing respondents. The questionnaires were prepared in English and Tamil language to enable better understanding and completion. Results Of the 510 people surveyed, 480 responses were retrieved, of which 331 were aware of dental implant treatment in Melmaruvathur, Tamil Nadu. Among them, 304 respondents were aware that implants could be used for replacement of missing teeth. Most of the respondents stated that dental implants were placed in the jawbone, followed by gums. Only 41% respondents assumed that implants last for a lifetime and only 35% of respondents believe that poor oral hygiene was the most common cause of implant failure. Conclusion More dental education programs are needed to improve understanding of the importance of restoration of missing teeth. General implant awareness levels are satisfactory. However, increased awareness of patients for restoration of missing tooth with dental implants is necessary. Dental education programs with special emphasis on advantages, treatment, maintenance, and postoperative care of dental implant therapy are needed. More than two-thirds of the surveyed population is interested in knowing about and being treated with dental implants. How to cite this article Narayanan V, Karuppiah P, Rajasekar A, Mayavan LD.

1. Background: Loss of permanent teeth is very common, affected chewing function, speech and aesthetics; restoration of missing teeth with dental implant has several advantages, but we need thoroughly study the clinical and X ray features at the position at missing teeth, then to select the type of implant and make the best plan for the dental implant patients. 2. Materials and method: Cross-section descriptive study. From January 2009 to November 2010, study with 56 patients with 102 implants of MIS and Megagen systems at the Faculty of Odonto-Stomatology, Hue College of Medicine and Pharmacy and Vietnam-Cuba Hospital in Ha Noi. 3. Results: Distributed equally in male and female, common ages 40 – 59 (55,4%), the majority of missing teeth occurs in the lower jaw (63,8%) and especially, the teeth 36 and 46 (25,4%). The majority of missing teeth due to dental caries, dental pulp and apical diseases (64,7%) of the molar teeth (51,9%); the most position of missing tooth have enough bone for dental implants (87,3%), time of tooth loss and bone status in the position of tooth loss are related to each other (p < 0,01). Diameter and length of implant usually used 4.0 – 6.0 mm (63,7%) and 8.5 – 13.0 mm (83,3%). 4. Conclusion: Clinical and X ray features of edentulous patients has an important role in determining the type of implants and treatment planning of dental implants. Key words: Loss of permanent teeth, X ray and clinical features, Dental implant.

Introduction: As implant therapy is a widely applied treatment modality, general dentists are in the frontline of maintaining health in patients with implants. It is however unknown to what extent general dentists are competent and feel prepared to deliver maintenance of implants to patients. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the attitudes and self-reported and objectively assessed competences of general dentists with maintenance of dental implants in patients. Methods: A questionnaire designed and validated for the purpose of the study, including attitudes and self-reported and objectively assessed competences, was distributed by means of an online platform. Results: Data from 429 questionnaires were included in the study. Half of the participants were 28 to 33 y old and 78% had been working <10 y. Seventy-eight percent believed that dental implant maintenance should be performed by general dentists, but only 51% were prepared to do this, citing obstacles such as insufficient knowledge and limitations of their working environment. The mean ± SD objectively assessed competence score was 8.97 ± 2.74 of 17. There were significant differences (P < 0.001, 1-way analysis of variance) in the scores among dentists who offered the full range of maintenance and management of complications (10.83 ± 2.45) with those willing to provide comprehensive oral examination and implant maintenance only (9.31 ± 2.73), those offering comprehensive examination but unwilling to conduct maintenance (8.22 ± 2.28), and those who refer all dental implant patients elsewhere (7.2 ± 2.66). Around half of the dentists believed that implants last for life. Conclusions: While general dentists appeared to largely acknowledge the importance of providing implant maintenance care and present with positive attitudes, a large portion was unwilling to engage with maintenance of implants in patients and appeared to lack essential competences to this end. The main obstacles for providing implant maintenance care included insufficient knowledge and lack of a properly equipped clinical environment. Knowledge Transfer Statement: The results of this study can identify deficiencies in the currently available maintenance competences and schemes for patients with implants. These results can also help dental professionals, scientific bodies, and associations to design appropriate education and professional development strategies that can strengthen the confidence and competences of general dentists, thus offering better service to the public.

Stomatognathic System

Dental implants and alternatives for patients requiring restoration of stomatognathic system through the replacement of dental units are an increasingly common practice. Treatment of patients with additional complications to dental implant restorations is a constant challenge, especially the patients described in the literature about the failure involving the use of bisphosphonates based drugs, those being touted as directly responsible for the presence of a pathological condition called bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw. A search through two databases was conducted to clarify doubts about the actual influence of factors presented and its true relevance to clinical practice, promoting the knowledge and more consistent strategies in cases requiring rehabilitation intervention. The results show the need for additional research on these topics.

Introduction: Optimal glycemic control is crucial to dental implant long-term functional and esthetic success. Despite HbA1c levels of 7% or lower used as an indicator for good glycemic control, however, this level may not be attainable for all diabetic patients. Most dentists do not consider patients with poor glycemic control candidates for implant therapy due to higher implant failure, infection or other complications. Aim: This review challenges the concept of one size fits all and aims to critically appraise the evidence for the success or failure rate of dental implants and peri-implant health outcomes in patients with less-than-optimal glycemic control. Discussion: Evidence suggests that estimating glycemic control from HbA1c measurement alone is misleading. Moreover, elevated preoperative HbA1c was not associated with increased mortality and morbidity after major surgical procedures. Literature for the survival or success of implants in diabetic patients is inconsistent due to a lack of standardized reporting of clinical data collection and outcomes. While a number of studies report that implant treatment in patients with well-controlled diabetes has a similar success rate to healthy individuals, other studies suggest that the quality of glycemic control in diabetic patients does not make a difference in the implant failure rate or marginal bone loss. This discrepancy could indicate that risk factors other than hyperglycemia may contribute to the survival of implants in diabetic patients. Conclusion: In the era of personalized medicine, the clinician should utilize individualized information and analyze all risk factors to provide the patient with evidence-based treatment options.
