lecture #1 : history
successful implant Survival
– There are a number of published versions of what
constitutes a successful implant or implant system.
Albrektsson (1986) proposed the following minimum
success criteria:
1. An individual, unattached implant is immobile when tested clinically.
2. Radiographic examination does not reveal any peri- implant radiolucency.
3. After the first year in function, radiographic vertical bone loss is less than
0.2 mm per annum.
4. The individual implant performance is characterized by an absence of signs
and symptoms such as pain, infections, neuropathies, paresthesia, or
violation of the inferior dental canal.
5. As a minimum, the implant should fulfill the above criteria with a success
rate of 85% at the end of a 5-year observation period and 80% at the end of
a 10-year period.

WHAT TYPES OF IMPLANT
ARE USED TODAY?
• Modern implants consist of an osseous part that
interacts with the bone, a transmucosal component
that interacts with the mucosa and then the
restoration; this can be a crown or bridge abutment, or
anchors for dentures. In recent years, there has been a
vast amount of scientific development in implant
design, geometry, materials and techniques in order to
improve the ease of delivery and success of implant
treatment.
The majority of designs are cylindrical, or root form in
geometry and almost exclusively endosseus, i.e. placed
within the alveolar bone rather than subperiosteally or
intra-mucosally.

Surfaces are normally roughened (microporous) through use


of surface preparation (e.g.
sand blasting and acid etching) rather than being coated
to increase the surface area available for osseointegration.
• innovations in design

• Cylindrical or root form implants are the most


commonly used modern implants in routine dental
practice.

• The materials used commonly for implants include


commercially pure titanium, titanium alloys or
occasionally ceramic materials (e.g. zirconium dioxide
or aluminium oxide)

• Root form implants can show variations with


diameter , geometry ,length shape …
Pure titanium grade 4

! Grade is have the most oxygen content (0.4%)


! Good Osseointegration • Titanium oxide layer
! Low physical properties
• High corrosion, low strength ,difficult to manipulate
Titanium alloy (Ti 6 Al 4V)

! Aluminum increases the strength and decrease the weight


of the alloy.
! Vanadium acts as beta-phase stabilizer and increase the
strength
Ceramic implants
• Advantages

!Biocompatible made from Zirconia

!More esthetic

!All ceramic restorations and metal free dentistry
• Disadvantages

!One pice implant only

!No osseointegration

!no alteration of the abutment portion !High cost
• Regular Platform implants (3.5 - 4.5 mm diameter)
• Wide Diameter implants (usually > 4.5 mm in diameter)
• Reduced Diameter implants (usually < 3.5 mm)
• Mini implants (usually < 3mm in diameter)
Implants are generally available in lengths from about 6 mm to as much as 20 mm. The most
common lengths employed are between 8 and 15 mm, which correspond quite closely to
normal root lengths. There has been a tendency to use longer implants in systems such as
Branemark, compared to, for example, Straumann. The Branemark protocol advocated
maximizing implant length where possible to engage bone cortices apically as well as
marginally to gain high initial stability. In contrast, the concept with Straumann was to
increase surface area of shorter implants by design features (e.g., hollow cylinders) or
surface treatments.
Molten titanium is sprayed onto the surface of the implant
to produce a very rough, almost porous surface. This type
of surface is generally not used because of potential
problems of periimplantitis if it should become exposed
to the oral environment. Straumann developed a newer
surface called the SLA (sand blasted–large grit–acid
etched). This technique produces a surface with large
irregularities with smaller ones superimposed upon it. A
newer version of SLA has been made more hydrophilic,
which may further improve the speed of cell attachment
and osseointegration.

patient factors
There are few contraindications to implant treatment. Following
are the main potential problem areas to consider:
• Age
• Untreated dental disease
• Severe mucosal lesions
• Tobacco smoking, alcohol and drug abuse
• Poor bone quality
• Previous radiotherapy to the jaws
• Poorly controlled systemic disease such as diabetes Bleeding
disorders
Age
The fact that the implant behaves as an ankylosed unit restricts
its use to individuals who have completed their jaw growth.
Placement of an osseointegrated implant in a child will result in
relative submergence of the implant restoration with growth of
the surrounding alveolar process during normal development. It
is therefore advisable to delay implant placement until growth
is complete. This is generally earlier in females than males but
considerable variation exists.
Untreated Dental Disease

The clinician should ensure that all patients are comprehensively


examined, diagnosed, and treated to adequately deal with
concurrent dental disease. Poor oral hygiene will result in
inflammation of the peri-implant soft tissues—peri-implant
mucositis. Inflammation of the soft tissues may subsequently lead
to bone loss (peri-implantitis). Placement of implants in subjects
susceptible to periodontitis may lead to higher implant failure
rates and more marginal bone loss. Implants placed close to peri-
apical lesions or residual peri-apical granulomas may be lost as a
result of resultant infection.
Poorly Controlled Systemic Disease

such as Diabetes

Diabetes has been a commonly quoted factor to consider in implant treatment. It does
affect the vasculature, healing, and response to infection. Although there is limited
evidence to suggest higher failure of implants in well-controlled diabetes, it would be
unwise to ignore this factor in poorly controlled patients.
Poor Bone Quality
This is a term often used to denote regions of bone in which there is low
mineralization or poor trabeculation. It is often associated with a thin or
absent cortex and is referred to as type 4 bone. It is a normal variant of bone
quality and is more likely to occur in the posterior maxilla. In the mandible,
a thick cortex may disguise poor quality medullary bone in plain
radiographs. Three-dimensional radiographs will give a much clearer idea of
bone density and in medical CT this can be measured in Hounsfield units.
