Single Piece Dental Implantology has been advanced.so that no more patients need to seek various visits to get their permanent teeth and sit tight for 3-6 months for new teeth. Not any more confused bone grafting methodology required. No more the insert technique are costly! They turn out to be especially moderate. All these in light of single piece or one piece implants.
2. Single piece dental implants
The Single-Piece implants are highly unique in design and effective in
function as it features prosthetic abutment and the surgical implant as
a unit but not as two different entities. This eliminates the occurrence
of âMicro Gapâ. And whatâs more, the patient need not wait months for
the procedure to complete. Thereâre no traumatic surgical procedures,
no pressure of finding the right removable dentures until implants find
stability, and no hint of uncertainty of whether the procedure would be
successful or not!
3. Convenient for whom:
Single piece dental implants are the most convenient for the patient/doctor
because of the following reasons:
â˘Single piece dental implants can be inserted flapless this greatly reduces
healing time.
â˘implant can be placed in hardly 10 minutes.
â˘A single trip of 3 days is enough for the replacement of teeth
â˘They can be immediately loaded so need to wait for osseointegration
â˘Affordable treatment= because the single piece implants are inexpensive
â˘Lifetime warranty on these implants because of their dependable solid
structure
â˘No swelling or bleeding as these are flapless.
â˘The risk of periimplantitis is very low because of the shorter diameter of the
neck of these implants
4. Single piece dental implants:
One piece dental implants are more reliable and strong compared to
the conventional screw based implants because they are single
component solid implants. Conventional implants with screw joining
the implant and abutment have many complications. The connecting
screw is as thin as 2mm and its breakage is common. Loosening of
the screw is common after several years and they have to be
periodically tightened. 2 piece implants with angulation or in
cantilevers are more prone to screw loosening and breakage.
Because of the joint in between the implant and the abutment, there is
leakage of food debris causing bone loss. As such 2 piece implants
are never given lifetime warranty. All companies are eliminating the
use of screw and shifting to single piece implants or they are
incorporating Morse cone in 2 piece implants.
5. Two or Three Piece Implant:
Conventional implants with screw joining the implant and abutment have
many complications. The connecting screw is as thin as 2mm and its
breakage is common. Loosening of the screw is common after
several years and they have to be periodically tightened. 2 piece
implants with angulation or in cantilevers are more prone to screw
loosening and breakage. Because of the joint in between the implant
and the abutment, there is leakage of food debris causing bone loss.
As such 2 piece implants are never given lifetime warranty. All
companies are eliminating the use of screw and shifting to single
piece implants or they are incorporating Morse cone in 2 piece
implants.
6. Material
Under a copious irrigation, serial drilling of implants was done to
prepare the implant socket. The drills are specially designed to collect
the bone debris in their flutes. This debris can not only indicate the
quality of bone but can also be used in the case of autogenous bone
grafts. After measuring of the soft tissue thickness, proper implants
were selected and inserted into the socket. The inserted implants
gained the 35Ncm insertion torque, which is acceptable for immediate
loading of implants.
7. Methods
The patient received antibiotics (amoxicillin and metronidazole) and an
analgesic before the surgery and continued 1-week post-surgery. After a local
anesthesia, the incisor was extracted using a traumatic technique with pre-
elevator to preserve remaining alveolar bone. Then the soft tissues in the
sockets were carefully removed, and a full-thickness flap was reflected.
The temporary acrylic bridge, which had been made for the patient, was relined
with self-cure acrylic resin. Afterward the bridge was cemented on the
abutments with zinc phosphate cement. It was trimmed in a natural way to
simulate previous teeth contour, which will lead to soft tissue formation with a
natural contour to be formed near crowns. Three months after insertion surgery,
the implants were osseointegrated, and the abutments were prepared using
high-speed carbide burs. Direct impression using additional silicones was
made. A resin framework was tried in intraorally to ensure the passive fitness of
the final bridge, and finally, after confirmation of the esthetic characteristics of
the bridge by the patient, the bridge was cemented.
8. Types of single piece dental implants:
There are two types of Single piece dental implants
â˘KOS Dental Implants
â˘BCS Dental Implants
9. KOS Dental Implants:
The KOS Implant system is made up of the highly fracture resistant
Ti6Al4V ELI Titanium alloy pursuant to ASTM F136. They are single
piece implants with apical compression threads designed for
immediate loading.
10. Special features of KOS dental implants are:
⢠KOS system is backed by 13 years of experience:
⢠They can be immediately loaded that means you can get your
permanent teeth in 3days
⢠Very much affordable, bringing it within the reach of a significantly
greater number of patients
⢠Can be inserted transingivally i.e by flapless method
⢠Quicker healing time
⢠Very minimal bleeding
⢠No post treatment pain or discomfort
⢠No sutures necessary
⢠Lifetime warranty offered.
11. BCS Dental Implants:
These Implants gets their support from
engaging the hard cortical bone or the strong
basal bone .where as other Implant gets their
support from soft spongy bone.
These are made as highly polished surface
Implants which never allows the bacteriaâs to
grow on the Implant surface .This
characteristics feature make BCS Implants
eligible to get place in the immediate extraction
places even though the tooth was infected
before.
12. Special features of BCS dental implants are:
⢠The BCS implants can be placed immediately after extraction.
⢠more resistant to infections
⢠less maintenance needed
⢠This implant system heals faster
⢠less bone resorption around implants
⢠BCS implants are smooth surface implants
⢠less risk of periimplantitis.
13. Difference between one piece and two piece Implant:
One piece Implant Two Piece Implant
The implant and the abutment are fused â they are
manufactured as one piece.
The implant and the abutment are separate. The abutment is
either cemented or cold welded. If the abutment is secured
with a screw onto the implant, then it can be considered to be
three pieces.
Simple. No joint. Single piece. Complex. Two parts joint by screw.
Single sitting surgical procedure and very often flapless.
Implant procedures are less time consuming than that
required for bridgework.
Very often more complex surgical procedures are necessary,
spread over 2 or 3 sittings in a period of 3-6 months.
Immediate Loading â i.e patient can be given the
crown/bridge the very next day.
Delayed Loading â very often a waiting period of minimum of 3
months is necessary.
A wide range of sizes and designs are available suiting
various bone types and measurements.
Limited sizes and designs are available thereby limiting their
application.
These work out a lot more cost effective in comparison with
two/three piece implants.
Expensive â with respect to the costs of the implants as well as
the time taken for multiple procedures
14. Advantages:
A single piece implant being a single component structure has no joints or a
connecting screw. This eliminates all the nagging complications of 2 piece
implants. As such these implants do not have any problems that are associated
with conventional screw based implants.
â˘No screw as such no screw loosening or breakage
â˘No micro leakage between implant components as these are single
component and hence
â˘No crestal bone loss, which is commonly seen in 2 piece implants
â˘Very strong â a 3mm single piece implant is stronger than 4 mm conventional
implant
â˘These are designed specially for immediate loading. As such permanent crown
or bridge is placed in 3 days.
â˘The procedures are flapless, quick and simple. There is no need to cut the
gum. Patients on aspirin or heparin need not stop the medicines
