The implant Completed the presentation Khametov Vladislav, student of group 171 Implants are a biocompatible titanium structure designed to fix artificial teeth made of ceramic or silicone rubber, which will replace lost teeth. New artificial teeth should perform three functions: 1) Aesthetic function. Crowns or fixed bridges replace the missing tooth and improve the aesthetics of the smile. 2) Occlusive function. New teeth promote food chewing, which improves digestion and reduces excessive stress on adjacent teeth. 3) Biological function. Implants prevent adjacent teeth from moving and tilting towards the missing tooth. The implant consists of three parts: Root part: this is the device of the implant itself, which is inserted into the bone. Abutment: This is the part that connects the implant body to the crown. Crown: This is the visible part of the implant that provides its functionality and aesthetics. Types of implants: Cone - shaped models are the most popular, as they correspond to the anatomical characteristics, lamellar, sub-periosteal and combined. Diseases around the implant that occur as a result of food residues put dental implants at risk, so it is extremely important to maintain proper hygiene with the following devices: a regular or electric toothbrush, dental floss and irrigator. The period of osseointegration of implants lasts three months. However, if it is necessary to perform a regenerative procedure (horizontal or vertical), this period can be extended to nine months. After the implant is installed, inflammation may appear, and in some cases, a hematoma. After this stage, the stitches are removed, and the risk of infection is reduced. Complications in the later stages after osseointegration occur due to displacement or fracture of the implant and infections. Prevention is the key to keeping healthy implants in your mouth. The cost of the implant and the implantation procedure itself in Russia is quite high, on average it is 25 thousand rubles. Thank you for your attention
