There are many implants available, each for a specific function. Most are made of titanium, a metal shielding the proven to be effective in fusing with living bone, a process known as “osseointegration.” The cylindrical or screw implant, as the “root form”, is similar in form to the root of a tooth with an area to promote good ties with the bones. It is the most widely used design and generally placed where there is an abundance of depth and width of the jaw bone. Where the jaw is too narrow or short for immediate placement of root-form implants could be improved, with bone transplantation to enable their placement.

If the jaw is too narrow and not a good candidate for a transplant of bone, a special narrow implant, called “Plate form” may, in the bones. In cases of advanced bone loss, the “subperiosteal” implant, may be prescribed. It is located at the top of the bone, but under the gums.

The actual implant procedure involves the surgical placement of the implant or implants, a healing period (osseointegration) and implant restoration to replace the missing tooth or teeth. The treatment may be a joint effort between a surgical dentist, actually places the implant and a restorative dentist, designs, writes and adds permanent replacement teeth. Some dentists have training and offer these services.

Root-form implants
Root-form implants are the closest, shape and size of the natural tooth root. They are usually in large, deep bone to provide a basis for the replacement of one, several or a complete arch of teeth. After applying the anesthetic, your dentist will expose the jaw bone to be planted, and prepare the bone to accept the implant. The number of cuts and bone preparations depends on the number of implants (and teeth) are placed. The implant is carefully furnished and the gums are closed with several stitches. The healing time varies usually from as few as three months to six or more. During this time osseointegration occurs. The bone grows in and around the implant to create a strong structural support. In fact, this commitment may be even stronger than the original tooth. If the healing is complete, your implant is uncovered and an extension or abutment is annexed to this report. Now the implant and abutments as a solid unit ready for your new teeth or teeth.

Plate form implants
Plate form implants are usually used when the bone is so narrow it may not be suitable for the root form implant and the area is not suitable for bone transplantation. The plate form implant is flat and long, so he can close in the jaw. After applying the anesthetic, your dentist will expose the jaw bone to be planted, and prepare the bone to the shape of the implant. The number of cuts depends on the number of implants are placed. The implant is carefully furnished and the gums are closed with several stitches. As Root-form implants, is usually a time for healing osseointegration, although some form of plate implants are for the immediate restoration.

Subperiosteal Implants
With very advanced jaw absorption It may not be enough bone width or height for the root form or plate form implant. In those cases the subperiosteal implant may be prescribed. The subperiosteal implant is custom made and designed to sit on top of the bone, but under the gums. There are two methods for its placement.

Teeth should be brushed twice a day and well after each meal.

Choosing the Brush a friendly materials:

 Toothbrush must have flexible nylon strands in a rounded tip. The hairs or bristles are a natural outlaw, their mechanical quality is variable. A small head facilitates the cleaning of all teeth. Its greatest precision allows the parties to reach a hard brush. It must adapt to the mouth of each.

A brush is to change 3 to 4 times a year because it is a tool that is used daily and which eventually wear out and do not eliminate bacterial plaque of the neck.

Bath mouth

It makes fluorine and substances “anti-plate” in the area where toothbrushes and toothpaste do not have access. It is a dye-specific bacterial plaque, sold in pharmacies.

The Interdental Brush

It helps to eliminate bacterial plaque left in the interdental spaces too broad by a movement back and forth horizontally.

The hydropulseurs

They can identify the bacterial plaque and food debris, but not substitute for brushing. They produce a massage benefits of gum.

The brush must be changed:

Approximately every 3 months;
If it is distorted;
If a white layer (depot toothpaste and bacteria) appears at the bottom;
Contamination is suspected.
