Taking off your removable dentures and restoring your missing teeth, dental implants can help you achieve all of this in a more perfect way. Are dental implants really that amazing? Is the procedure safe? Are dental implants for profit or are they effective? A netizen once left a message asking, “I have been missing teeth for more than 20 years, can I get dental implants?” It is difficult for doctors to answer questions like these. This is because every dental implant solution needs to be “customized”. First of all, we need to clarify a few issues, one is the age of dental implants: clinically recommended that patients need to be 18 years old or older, there is no strict upper age limit, only need to check the whole body and local conditions to meet the requirements. Second, clear indications and contraindications: need to exclude systemic diseases and oral diseases, such as severe periodontal disease (depending on the prognosis of treatment), benign and malignant tumors (cysts), head and neck radiotherapy history, etc., and other patients should be excluded from taking diphosphonates, glucocorticosteroids and other special drugs. Thirdly, the number and location of dental implants need to be clarified, is a single, multiple, or full mouth missing teeth? Is the missing tooth time 3 months or 10 years? Front teeth or back teeth? Is the remaining alveolar bone and gums small, okay, or more adequate? Is the restoration program fixed or semi-fixed? The implant restoration program is completely different depending on the implant conditions and site requirements. Each patient’s situation is different, and there may be two or more implant restoration options, which need to be specified and customized according to the patient’s financial situation, physical condition, and long-term results. Implant surgery must be designed to take into account individual patient factors and create a personalized plan. In layman’s terms, dental implant surgery is like planting trees on the Yellow River embankment, and the shape of the embankment (alveolar ridge) is the basis for dental implantation, which is affected by various factors, often accompanied by insufficient bone volume, poor angulation, too large/small gap, and neighboring important anatomical structures. The bone grafting plan for the remaining alveolar bone, the implant placement site, the implant length, diameter, morphology, distribution, stress pattern and maintenance pattern, and the method of gingival morphology induction are all very specialized issues that require precise calculation and design. In addition, the material of the restorative crown is also a concern for many patients: is it durable? Is the color and shape realistic? Does it affect the MRI? And so on, there are different options. To summarize, each patient’s physical condition, economic condition, functional characteristics, aesthetic requirements, etc. determine the choice of implant surgery options, “private customization” in order to obtain good long-term results.”
