What are Dental Implants and its type ?

Dental implants is a modern technique to replace missing and damaged teeth with artificial teeth. It is performed by a periodontist who specializes in dental problems and gum diseases. In dental implants therapy an artificial small titanium is implanted in jawbones. To reduce the pain, periodontists use local anesthesia. It is non-invasive therapy and performed by laser. Dental implants also provide support and stability to jawbones and increase the density of bones.

Types of Dental Implants

1. Endosteal :- Endosteal refers to anything related to the inner part of the bone (endosteum). It is commonly used in dentistry and orthopedics.

In Dental Implants:
Endosteal implant placement is the most common type of dental implant.

It is surgically placed directly into the jawbone and acts as artificial roots for replacement teeth (crowns, bridges, or dentures).

The crowns used in endosteal are made with  titanium and come in screw, cylinder, or blade forms.

In Bone Anatomy: Endosteal surface refers to the inner lining of bones, which contains bone marrow and plays a role in bone growth and repair.

The endosteum is a thin layer of connective tissue that lines this surface.

2. Subperiosteal :-

Subperiosteal dental implants are placed on top of the jawbone, under the gum tissue, rather than inside the bone (used when bone density is low). Subperiosteal treatment in dental implants is performed by periodontists on the teeth and bones. It is also used to increase bone density.

Subperiosteal:

• The subperiosteal is designed to cover the outer area of teeth and provide support for gums.

• Often used in reference to soft tissue layers or blood vessels overlying the jaw line.

Role of Crown lengthening in Dental implant placement  

Crown lengthening surgery is designed to enhance functionality and appearance of smile. Crown lengthening procedure is the most usable part in dental implants. In dental implants crown lengthening removes the unwanted tissues and restores the damaged tissue and bones. Crown lengthening treatment provides proper gum and bone contouring can support healthier gums and improve overall oral hygiene. The gum tissue is reshaped or removed to expose more of the tooth. If necessary, a small amount of bone near the tooth root may also be removed.
