Antithrombotic drugs and implantology: it is not necessary to suspend therapies
Patients with venous and arterial thrombosis undergo therapy with antithrombotic drugs (antiplatelet and anticoagulants). Would they run any risks in the event of undergoing an implant surgery? We try to answer this question in the following article which summarizes the data of recent research. Pharmacological therapies and oral surgery Antithrombotic drugs have several categories. There […]
Bacterial flora and dental implant success
One of the causes of implant failure is peri-implantitis, ie the infection of the dental implant and the consequent loss; this is why constant monitoring of the bacterial flora after an implant surgery is important. Oral microbiota after implantology Dentistry has been focusing in recent years on the importance of the oral microbiota and on […]
Chewing load: which dental implants are best suited
After an immediate load implant surgery, although the osseointegration process has been successful, bone resorption can occur in the peri-implant areas, often due to masticatory overload. The causes of bone resorption in the peri-implant area are mainly attributable to two conditions: bacterial infections; chewing overload. Chewing overload: when it occurs Chewing overload is a condition […]
Bone density: determining factor for implantology
Good bone density is an optimal requirement for facing an immediate load implant surgery because it guarantees a greater probability of success in the osseointegration process of the dental implant. Bone density and primary stability Before undergoing an implant surgery, the patient undergoes an initial check-up visit. A necessary first step because, thanks to the […]
Increasing Primary Stability: An Innovative Study
When a patient approaches an implant surgery one of the conditions for the success of osseointegration is primary stability. Today, new innovative techniques can increase primary stability without invasive interventions. The importance of primary stability Good primary stability consists of optimal starting conditions of the patient in terms of: bone density; bone thickness. These two […]
Treatment of peri-implantitis: how to manage pain
Replacing fallen teeth with an implant surgery is now a very common practice with very high success rates, however, some patients may experience discomfort during the treatment of peri-implantitis. Inflammation of the dental implant is now considered the number one cause of late implant loss. Implant Infection: How It Occurs Peri-implantitis is the infection of […]
Post extraction implantology: duration of implants
The post-extraction implantology techniques in traditional dentistry involve the insertion of the dental implant a few months after the extraction of the tooth, to favor the complete healing of the implant site. The technique of deferred loading implantology has some disadvantages for the patient: long times; higher costs; more intervention sessions. Placement of implants after […]
Survival of dental implants after 15 years: a new study
The survival of dental implants is a question that is always very close to the patient’s heart and in fact one of the questions we are often asked is: “How long do dental implants last?”. In the last ten years, implantology has made enormous steps forward in terms of innovative tools and techniques, in fact […]
Too old for implantology?
According to the latest Istat projections, in 2050 there will be 20 million people over 65 in Italy, of which 4 million will be over 85 years old; but at what age can we consider ourselves too old for implantology? Why feel too old for implantology? Thinking that it is not worth it is one […]
To restore a tooth: endodontics or implantology?
In the presence of a badly reduced dental element due to deep caries, what is the best therapy to restore a tooth? Endodontics or implantology? Let’s try to answer. Don’t lose the tooth: what to do? Losing a tooth is no small matter, there are many unpleasant consequences, not only from an aesthetic point of […]
