INTRODUCTION TO IMPLANTOLOGY

The purpose of implant treatment is to return a person to normal anatomy, function, aesthetics, comfort, and speech despite bone loss caused by illness or damage to the stomatognathic system.
Based on the osseointegration ideas established by Branemark more than 50 years ago, implant dentistry has advanced significantly and has become an essential component of dental rehabilitation.
Though it was first designed to treat totally edentulous individuals, it has steadily expanded to include partly edentulous people.
Because of the higher risk of pulpal damage, secondary caries, abutment tooth fractures, and periodontal disease, single tooth replacement by implant has surpassed fixed prosthodontics as the most common indication (bridge).
Because of considerable developments in bone augmentation treatments, implants are now inserted wherever prosthesis is necessary, rather than only in locations where appropriate breadth and height of bone are available.
To repair bone deficits in other regions of the oral cavity, guided-bone regeneration with or without membranes and sinus floor elevation have become standard of treatment.
Because of rapid bone formation, improved osteophytic microstructured titanium implant surfaces, such as the Plus Surface (Dentsply Sirona Implants), dramatically shorten treatment time.
Implant treatment advancements have made implants more predictable and appealing to patients. As a result, more dentists are inserting implants in their regular practises than ever before.
