What are dental implants? Types and procedures

 What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium or zireaum materials that are surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. They are designed to function like natural teeth, providing a strong and stable foundation for chewing, speaking, and smiling. Implants can be used to replace one or multiple missing teeth, and they can even support dentures or bridges.

Traditional Implants: These are the most common type of implant, where a single implant is placed in the jawbone to support a single crown.

Subperiosteal Implants: These are placed on top of the jawbone, rather than into it, and are used for patients with limited bone density.

Zygoma Implants: These are placed into the cheekbone (zygoma) for patients with severe bone loss.

Hybrid Implants: These combine a titanium post with a ceramic or metal crown.

Dental Implant Procedure:

The dental implant procedure typically involves the following steps:

Consultation: A dentist will examine your mouth and take X-rays to determine if you're a good candidate for implants.

Surgical Placement: The implant is surgically placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia or IV sedation.

Osseointegration: The implant is allowed to heal and integrate with the surrounding bone, a process that can take several months.

Abutment Placement: An abutment is attached to the implant, which connects it to the crown.

Crown Placement: A custom-made crown is attached to the abutment.

Need for Dental Implants:

Dental implants can be beneficial in the following situations:

Tooth Loss Due to Injury or Decay: If you've lost a tooth due to an injury or decay, an implant can restore your smile and chewing function.

Dental Bridges or Dentures: Implants can provide additional support for bridges or dentures, making them more comfortable and secure.

Bone Loss: Implants can help prevent further bone loss by stimulating bone growth in the jaw.

Confidence Boost: Dental implants can improve your self-confidence and overall oral health.

How Laparoscopic Pyeloplasty is Revolutionizing Urological Care in Wellsun Medicity ?

Image
Laparoscopic pyeloplasty is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to treat ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction, a common condition where the ureter meets the kidney. This condition can cause symptoms such as flank pain, abdominal pain, and frequent urination. Conventional open surgery for UPJ obstruction often involves a large incision, which can lead to prolonged recovery times, significant scarring, and increased risk of complications. The Rise of Laparoscopic Pyeloplasty In recent years, laparoscopic pyeloplasty has emerged as a revolutionary alternative to traditional open surgery. This minimally invasive technique offers numerous benefits, including: Smaller Incisions: Laparoscopic pyeloplasty requires only a few small incisions, typically 1-2 cm in length, compared to the 10-15 cm incision required for open surgery. Less Pain: The minimally invasive nature of laparoscopic pyeloplasty reduces post-operative pain and discomfort, allowing patients to recover fas
