Dental Implant in Noida is the device with which a single or multiple missing teeth can be replaced even if support is not there. In this the support is taken from the underlying bone instead of the adjacent teeth unlike fixed bridges. Even complete dentures can be given above the implants even if the severe bone loss is there.A single dental implant or multiple implants can be secured to the jawbone and capped with natural-looking prosthetic teeth for a comfortable, confident smile. Dental implants are metal posts or frames that are surgically positioned into the jawbone beneath your gums. Once in place, they allow your dentist to mount replacement teeth onto them. The basic two types of dental implants are
1) Endosteal or Root Form Dental Implant
2) Subperiosteal Dental Implant
Endosteal Implants of dental implant is put directly in the bone. It is the most common type of dental implant used in dentistry.They are available in different width varying from 3.2mm to 7mm and are available in different lengths varying from 10mm to18 mm. The width and length is decided by the dentist depending upon the width and the height of the bone and the type and the number of teeth to be replaced. The process of putting the dental implant is two step procedures. In first step a hole is drilled in the bone according to the size of the implant and then the root part of the dental implant is inserted. Then the gums are sutured above this and patient is asked to wait for 2 to 3 months in which recall evaluation is done to see whether the implant has properly fused with the bone or nor. The process of fusing the implant with the bone is called as the osseointegration.
Subperiosteal Dental Implant � Some times the bone structure is badly atrophied. Not only it is atrophied but the bone structure is limited to the extent that bone grafting can not be done. In that case subperiosteal bone graft is given which is individually made and is very light weight. It is a metal frame work which has multiple posts which come out of the gm tissues and is put on the remaining bone. The dentist has to decide where it can be put depending upon the site and the condition of the bone. It can be used to replace the multiple teeth or even complete denture can be given above this. After it is put the natural bone and the tissue covers it and give it extra stability.
Ramus Frame Implant - Some time when the lower jaw bone is severely resorbed and is unable to give any kind of retention then there is another alternative known as Ramus frame implant. It is in between the Subperiosteal and the plate form. These are prefabricated and can be moulded according to the anatomy. It is given on both sides on the ramus of the bone posteriorly. The part which shows the opening is inside the bone but the metal bar is outside in the oral cavity towards the tongue and holds the denture.
Intramucosal Implant � This is another type which is not used very often known as Intramucosal Implant. It is used to give extra retention and stability to the removable dentures. In this a mushroom shaped attachment is attached on the gum side of the denture and it fits in the indentations which are made I the soft tissue it increases the retention of the removable dentures.Dental Implants come in different shapes and textures.
