Dental implantology, which is the branch of dental surgery that consists of placing implants in the lower jaw (mandible) and/or upper jaw (maxillary bone), is also called oral implantology or simply implantology.

It is applied by surgeon dentists and specialist maxillofacial surgery and stomatology doctors.

The surgical application of dental implantology prevents jawbone erosion following periodontal disease or bone loss following the extraction or loss of one or more teeth.

Placement of dental implants, a technique for the treatment of edentulous areas, allows correction of medical problems (jaw stability, gum and tissue disease, etc.), surgical problems (facial or mouth reconstruction after trauma or cancer, etc.) and aesthetic problems (missing teeth, etc.). provides.

Pre-implant surgery: bone grafts

Maxillary or mandibular bone grafting aims to increase jawbone volume for the placement of dental implants, stabilization of a removable prosthesis, post-traumatic repair or to accommodate loss of substance after periodontal disease. The graft is completed using either natural bone (autologous graft or allogeneic graft) or biocompatible artificial or synthetic bone (synthetic graft).

However, the main purpose of maxillary or mandibular bone grafting is the placement of dental implants to be used as anchoring supports for dental prostheses to be fitted at a later date.

Implant surgery: various procedures

Cylindro-tapered dental implants benefit from calibrated instrumentation that facilitates their placement and ensures good adaptation in the bone with immediate loading or delayed loading of the dental prosthesis.

Implant placement is carried out by a surgeon-dentist specialized in dental implantology or an oral surgeon trained in fitting prosthetics to dental implants and takes place in several consecutive steps:

   İmplantın yerleştirilmesi için cerrahi müdahale,

   Osseointegrasyon aşaması en az 4 ay sürer,

   Protezin genişletilmesinin hazırlanması için iyileşme vidasının yerleştirilmesi,

   Diş protezcisi tarafından üretim için önlemler,

   Protezin vida tutuculu veya darbe tutuculu yerleştirilmesi.
