Q.3 Who are the best candidates for immediately loaded dental implants?
If you are missing one or more teeth in a jaw with adequate bone support, disease-free
#gumtissues, also some health factors are important when considering immediate loading which depends upon absolute & relative contraindications. Like patients with uncontrolled
#diabetes will lead to delayed healing & with leukemia patients undergoing radiotherapy might lead to bony changes & this would impede the implant placement.
Q.4 What are the benefits of immediately loaded #implants?
Immediate-loading is ideally propound for the anterior regions in order to maintain the
#esthetics, to avoid resorption & recession of gums, for adherence of gingival contour around the prosthesis. A crown with appropriate contours & emergence profile will encourage papilla to form. Moreover, it avoids the need of second stage surgery.
Q.5 What is the procedure like? How many appointments will it take?
#Immediateloading comprises of removal of affected tooth cautiously by preserving the buccal & lingual bone & simultaneous placement of implant. Once the
#primarystability is enough to stabilize an implant, a temporary crown is placed at the same time. It is uncertain to decide how much time it would take but relatively the whole procedure might take 2-3 hours.
Q.6 What can patients expect after receiving their implants?
Patient might experience a bit discomfort with pain & swelling post surgery. Medications like antibiotics & analgesics are prescribed.
Q.7 How often should patients come to visit their
#implantologist after the implants are done?
It is necessary for the dentist to confirm that the crown fits well. Regular checkup appointments will usually be scheduled at 1, 3 & 6 month intervals in the first year. At these checkups, x-rays may be taken to examine the implant-bone relationship.
