- Definition :
The dental implant is an artificial root ancred in
the jaw bone through implantology. Its function is
to replace a root from a damaged tooth or a removed
tooth, in order to support a prosthesis. Dental implant
is the link between the prosthesis and the jaw bone,
allowing for chewing strength at the bone level and
plays a shock absorber role.
- Types and shapes
You can distinguish 2 types of dental implants : those
that are placed one the jaw bone (juxta-osseous) and
those placed within the jaw bone (endo-osseous). The
shapes, generally cylindrical, can also be cone shaped,
disk shaped, blade shaped. Each one corresponding
to specific needs. The diameter geerally vary between
3 and 5mm and the length between 10 and 15mm. The
variety correspond to the diversity of the jaw bones
and each clinical case.
- Dental implant resistancy
It must support chewing in all directions incompassing
10 to 35kg/cm² , it must not alter in time due
to saliva, gums or other elements existing in the
mouth. Other metals used such as plomb, mercury or
gold used fr other dental care can cause electricity
through saliva.
- Dental implant duration
