There are many people who do not know about dental implants and even have some misconceptions about what they are. It is a pile on the alveolar bone, and then wear porcelain teeth on this pile, is currently the best way to repair missing teeth. Myth 1: There is no need for dental implants for the elderly. Compared to movable dentures and fixed bridges, dental implants are more expensive, and there are often filial children who want their elderly parents to have dental implants, but they are rejected by the elderly because of the price. In fact, the initial emergence of dental implants was due to the needs of the elderly with missing teeth. Dental implants are more meaningful to them because they often have multiple missing teeth, resulting in reduced chewing function, poor nutrient absorption, and even malnutrition. Dental implants are not only strong and durable, but also prevent bone atrophy, and are significantly better than movable dentures and fixed bridges in restoring chewing function, maintaining oral health, and maintaining facial appearance, so more and more elderly people choose dental implants, and only later gradually spread to young people. Myth 2: “Dental implant” is too scary surgery Many people think that dental implant is a scary surgery, even if there is a practical need, they dare not try. In fact, the trauma of dental implants is closely related to the condition of the remaining alveolar bone and mucosa at the implant site and the surgical site. With the development of medical technology, dental implantation is actually a minor surgery in most cases, and now it is also developed to a minimally invasive operation, with less bleeding and less swelling and pain after surgery, which is even less painful and traumatic than tooth extraction, although the surgical operation is precise. In addition, the development of immediate implant technology, when the conditions are met, the patient can be implanted immediately after the extraction, which is convenient and less damaging. Misconception 3: Osteoporosis cannot be implanted In the past, osteoporosis was considered an absolute contraindication to dental implantation because the condition could make it difficult to fix artificial tooth roots successfully in the alveolar bone, leading to failure. With the development of technology, today, patients with mild osteoporosis can still receive dental implants after a rigorous preoperative evaluation and improved surgical techniques. Short-term oral bisphosphonates for osteoporosis have little impact, but if patients are considering intravenous bisphosphonates for treatment, they must wait for the wound to heal. Myth 4: It is impossible to “plant” teeth after teeth loss Although some of the alveolar bone will be absorbed after tooth loss, there is still remaining alveolar bone or jawbone that can be “titanium pinned” and dental implants are placed on these remaining alveolar bone or jawbone. “The implant is placed on these remaining alveolar bone or jawbone as an artificial tooth root. In addition, pure titanium is so biocompatible with bone tissue that bone cells will bind to the titanium and grow on the surface of the titanium studs, firmly bonding them together.
