Dental implants include lower dental implants and upper dental restorations (implant support).
It uses artificial materials (such as metals, ceramics, etc.). ) make implants (generally similar to the shape of root), implant tissues (usually maxilla and mandible) through surgery and obtain firm retention support from bone tissues, and connect and support upper tooth restorations through special devices and methods. Dental implants can achieve the same restoration effect as natural teeth in function, structure and aesthetic effect, and have become the first choice for more and more patients with missing teeth.
Extended data:
The success rate of implant restoration is related to many factors, including the patient's general and local conditions, strict and standardized surgical operation, the selection of implant system, the design of prosthesis, the manufacture and maintenance of prosthesis, etc.
In the past 30 years, modern oral implantology has developed rapidly and its level has been continuously improved. The 5-year success rate of implants has greatly exceeded the standards of 1986 Albrektsson and Zarb, with 80% in maxilla and 85% in mandible. Reports in recent years in China show that in 10, the success rate or survival rate of standardized oral implant therapy can reach more than 95%.
