Dental implantation in Minsk

Implant placement process

Preparatory stage

The preparation consists in conducting research and removing obstacles for implantation, selecting a technique and materials, planning a sequence of procedures.

1. Examination and consultation with two dental specialists – an orthopedist and a surgeon.
2. Study of computed tomography images, measurement of tissue potentiometry;
3. Preparation (caries treatment, professional hygiene, removal of teeth preventing further manipulations) – performed by a dentist-therapist or surgeon.

Modeling

Modeling is carried out to study the anatomical features of your maxillofacial apparatus. Most of the stage is carried out in a dental laboratory under the supervision of an orthopedist.

• Taking impressions and digitizing them on a dental scanner;
• Computer simulation of the operation:
• Determining the length and diameter of the artificial root,
• Coordination of the point and angle of installation,
• Calculation of occlusal load;
• It is possible to print a plastic 3D Model of the future jaw (Wax-UP), for agreement with the patient.

Surgical stage

The surgical stage is the preparation of the bone and the installation of an artificial root

1. Bone grafting. It happens that there is not enough space in the bone for an implant of the required diameter. To correct the situation, the process of bone tissue grafting in the form of powders or autotransplantation is carried out. If you start implantation no later than 3 months after tooth extraction, then plastic is most likely not needed.




2. Implantation. The surgeon gradually prepares the bed with dental drills of different diameters and, using a special tool, sets the root to the required depth. Often, to obtain the desired angle, the operation is performed according to the navigation template. Guide vector, helps to ensure the accuracy of the installation, helps to eliminate errors during the operation.

Orthopedic stage

The stage is characterized by repeated taking of impressions by an orthopedist to control the quality of implant installation and subsequent manufacture of a prosthesis or crown.

1. Impression taking;
2. Production of temporary crowns in the laboratory;
3. Loading implants with a temporary prosthesis or placing a gingiva former.

Healing – Osseointegration

For the fastest osseointegration (engraftment), a moderate chewing load is recommended for the first time. High-quality implants installed by a good specialist do not require replacement for a lifetime. And crowns and dentures can be repaired or replaced if necessary.

1. Waiting for the time required for the complete fusion of the implant with the bone (from 3 to 6 months). But two weeks is often enough to install a permanent crown on a Straumann implant.
2. Periodic control of the process by the attending physician. You need to strictly follow the instructions of the implantologist, and if any new discomfort occurs, immediately make an appointment.

Permanent crown placement

Removing the temporary and installing the permanent crown is the final step in finding your new smile. This technology fully compensates for the lost aesthetics and reliably restores the natural functionality of the tooth.

1. After the osseointegration process, the prosthodontist removes the temporary crown and sends impressions for the fabrication of the permanent crown.
2. In the laboratory, by casting or using CAD-CAM technology, an artificial tooth is made from metal-ceramic or zirconium.
3. Finally, the prosthodontist connects the artificial crown to the implant body.

Contraindications for dental implants

The whole range of contraindications for implantation comes down to minimizing the possibility of developing an inflammatory process in the canal of an artificial tooth, and subsequent rejection of the implant. Therefore, the surgical stage is carried out only in a satisfactory condition of the oral cavity and the general health of the patient, when the tissues meet the necessary parameters for successful osseointegration.

Contraindications for dental implantation can be divided into the following groups:

1. The main medical contraindications:
   • Insufficient amount of bone tissue in the implant site.
   • Heart failure, uncontrolled arterial hypertension.
   • A bleeding disorder or taking anticoagulants
   • Uncontrolled diabetic insufficiency.
   • Severe chronic diseases such as uncontrolled autoimmune disease
2. Oral health and oral health:
   • Inadequate level of oral hygiene.
   • Unsatisfactory condition of the periodontium, periodontitis.
   • Untreated foci of caries.
   • Severe occlusal defects, incorrect position of the dentition.
   • Inflammation of the gums or oral mucosa.
3. Specific contraindications:
   • Pregnancy or breastfeeding
   • Age restrictions for children and teenagers.
   • Cancer or radiotherapy to the head and neck.
   • Psychological problems preventing adherence to postoperative instructions.
   • Inappropriate jaw anatomy or developmental anomalies.

Nicotine affects the overall vascular tone and peripheral circulation, which plays a major role in implant healing. Due to the deterioration of the supply of calcium and phosphorus, the engraftment process slows down, which negatively affects the structure of bone formation around the artificial root. For our patients who smoke, we recommend reducing the number of cigarettes consumed per day one to two weeks before surgery and a month after.

The presented list of contraindications for dental implantation is guided by Dudko and Sons at the dental implantation center. It is important to note that the final decision on the procedure is made after a thorough medical examination and consultation with the dentist.

Implantation Guarantee in Dudko & Sons

The implant warranty consists of the manufacturer’s warranty on components and the clinic’s warranty on its installation.

The service life of implants is from 15 to 25 years (depending on the manufacturer). Each product has a personal certificate, which is issued to the patient after treatment. The second copy of the certificate is pasted into the patient’s medical record, which is kept in the clinic (according to the legislation of the Republic of Belarus). If desired, patients can ask for a copy of the page with certificates from the medical record.

How many years your dental implants will last depends on your health. Therefore, please be careful about your lifestyle after the operation. Remember that the implant is a foreign body and in order for it to last as long as possible, care instructions must be followed. These recommendations are especially important in the postoperative phase, since the oral mucosa is still vulnerable to infections. The patient must take prescribed medications and use flushing solutions.

What to do after implantation? Caring for artificial teeth

In order for implants to serve for a long time after installation, patients who have undergone the procedure must follow the following simple rules:

• During the engraftment period, rinse your mouth with antiseptic solutions prescribed by your doctor;
• Brush your teeth twice a day, medium hardness;
• Floss the gaps once a day;
• For hard-to-reach places, use an irrigator;
• Two times a year to undergo a physical examination and at least once a year to do professional hygiene and remove tartar.
