Implants

Contributed by:

1. What 3 things should an implant be? Compatible with life, inert, cause no host response.
2. Define implants: Can replace 1 tooth or whole dentition & can be fixed or removable.
3. List the 3 types of implants: Endosseous, Subperiosteal, & Transosteal.
4. What is an endosseous implant? Placed within the bone.
5. 1^st type implant is a blade implant.
6. Cylinder type implant= most commonly used now.
7. What are most implants made of? Titanium.
8. Osseointergration is: waiting for the bone to grow or fuse with implant. (intimate contact around implant).
9. Describe subperiosteal implants: not done anymore, a framework that’s no within bone, gingiva is reflected & framework is placed on top of bone, less stable.
10. What type of implant is placed through the bone from the bottom of mandible to top of mandible? Transosteal.
11. Implants are mostly made of titanium, why? Strong, resistant to corrosion, not expansive, lightweight.
12.  Titanium alloy is mixed with: Aluminum 6%, Vanadium 4%. Adds strength & weight.
13. Implants are coated with: ceramics
14. What are the characteristics of ceramic implants: the most biocompatible, integrate faster; osseointergration will occur more rapidly.
15. Describe coated metal implants: ceramic coating, attract osteoblasts; like roughness.
16. Patient selection criteria for implants: will be lengthy process, may have some discomfort, healthy, sufficient bone, good oral hygiene.
17. Poor oral hygiene is associated with what in implants? Failure.
18. T/F Implant needs to be immobile.
19. In an implant, no radiolucency is: fibrous capsule, which indicates osseointergration did not take place, no bone.
20.  T/F No pain for success.
