Summary
Osseointegrated implants, made of titanium, offer high success rates for replacing teeth in edentulous patients. This method involves a two-stage surgical procedure with significant long-term clinical success.
Area of Science:
- Dental Implantology
- Biomaterials Science
- Oral Surgery
Context:
- Osseointegrated implants, developed by Professor Brånemark, utilize pure titanium for dental restorations.
- The procedure involves a two-stage surgical process to minimize tissue trauma and promote bone integration.
- Implants are left unloaded for 3-6 months, depending on jaw location, to allow for osseointegration.
Purpose:
- To report on the clinical application and success rates of osseointegrated implants.
- To detail the surgical technique and pre-operative examinations for implant placement.
- To present long-term clinical data and patient outcomes.
Summary:
- Pure titanium implants are surgically placed in the jawbone, requiring a healing period of 3-6 months.
- The clinical procedure involves two stages to ensure minimal tissue trauma and optimal osseointegration.
- Success rates within 15 years were 91% in the lower jaw and 81% in the upper jaw, with satisfactory patient results.
Impact:
- Osseointegrated implants provide a highly successful and satisfactory solution for totally edentulous patients.
- The study highlights the long-term efficacy and reliability of titanium dental implants.
- Demonstrates the significant clinical benefits of the osseointegration method in restorative dentistry.
