According to the different implant materials, dental implants are mainly divided into metal dental implants and ceramic dental implants. Metal dental implant is usually made of titanium alloy or pure titanium, which has good biocompatibility and corrosion resistance and is a common implant material. Ceramic dental implants are made of biocompatible ceramic materials, such as zirconia. , with high aesthetics, is often used for implant restoration of anterior teeth.
According to the number and position of dental implants, dental implants can be divided into single dental implant, multiple dental implants and full-mouth dental implants. Single dental implant refers to implant into alveolar bone of missing tooth to support fixed denture or overdenture. Various dental implants are used to implant various implants into alveolar bone to enhance the support and stability of teeth. Full-mouth dental implant simulates the structure and function of natural teeth by implanting multiple implants when full-mouth teeth are missing.
According to the different implant design and retention methods, dental implants can be divided into screw-retained dental implants, adhesive-retained dental implants and clasp-retained dental implants. Screw-retained dental implants use screws to fix dentures on implants, which has good stability and retention. Bonding retained dental implant is to connect denture and implant through adhesive, which is suitable for anterior teeth restoration. Clasp-retained dental implants are used to fix dentures on adjacent healthy teeth, which is suitable for posterior teeth restoration.
When choosing dental implant methods, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the individual's dental condition, oral health and economic ability. Metal dental implants have good corrosion resistance and biocompatibility, and are suitable for most cases of tooth loss. Ceramic dental implants have good aesthetics and are suitable for the restoration of missing anterior teeth. Single dental implant is suitable for single tooth loss, and multiple dental implants and complete dental implants are suitable for multiple or complete tooth loss. Screw-retained dental implants have good stability and retention, and are suitable for long-term fixed restoration; Bonded retained dental implants are suitable for anterior teeth restoration with good aesthetics; Dental implants retained by clasp are suitable for posterior teeth restoration, and adjacent healthy teeth are used for fixed dentures.
In addition to the above common dental implants, there are some other classification methods, such as minimally invasive dental implants and conventional dental implants according to surgical methods. Minimally invasive dental implants adopt small incision minimally invasive technology to reduce surgical trauma and postoperative pain and recover quickly; Conventional dental implants need a large incision and periosteum peeling, and the surgical trauma is large, but it can adapt to some complicated cases well.
Choosing the appropriate dental implant method is very important for the success of the operation and dental health. When choosing a dental implant method, it is necessary to comprehensively consider various factors according to personal conditions and choose a dental implant method that suits you. At the same time, regular stomatological hospitals and experienced doctors should be selected for the operation to ensure the safety and effect of the operation.
