1. A Review on
DENTAL IMPLANTS

2. Dental implants’ is a long term solution for missing teeth.
Although, dental implant is an artificial permanent replacement
for the roots and crown of a missing tooth, it helps people to
chew, smile, talk and look completely natural.

3. Dental implants procedure can take as little as a few weeks and
as long as nine months depending on the condition and health of
the oral cavity. The procedure requires a team comprising of a
dentist, Prosthodontist and an oral surgeon.

4. The procedure involved in making dental implants includes:
 Evaluation of the oral cavity
 Placement of Dental Implants
 Attachment of Abutment
 Fixing the Crown

5. Evaluation of oral cavity:
An oral or maxillofacial surgeon will evaluate the dental cavity to
check jaw bone density and overall dental health. When patients
do not have enough jawbone density, a bone graft will be placed
in the area of the missing tooth. In case of any infections the
dental specialist may prescribe antibiotics and other treatments.

6. Placement of Implants:
The implant made of a thin titanium rod which will act as the
teeth root is attached to the jawbone under the gum line. This is
achieved by a series of incisions in the gums followed by drilling
a hole in jawbone to fix the implant properly. After fixing, the
surgeon will attach a healing cap or cover screw.

7. Recovery from the surgery:
The implant site may be painful, swollen and bleed a lot.
The healing process may take a few weeks to four months.
During this period bone cells will be getting fixed to the implants,
the process is known as Osseointegration.

8. Attachment of Abutment:
The gums will be reopened and an abutment is attached. The
process is done by an oral surgeon under a local anesthetic.

9. Fixing the crown:
After healing from the minor surgery the prosthodontist will fix
the permanent crown using a screw or cement onto the
abutment.

10. Maintaining the implant:
The success rate of dental implants is 95%. But, it is important to
brush and floss the implant regularly to prevent gum diseases
which may cause the implant to fail.
