Let's talk about the disadvantages of dental implants first ... The biggest goal of any medical treatment should be: the therapist is willing to provide time-saving, money-saving, simple and uncomplicated, safe diagnosis and treatment methods, taking the interests of patients as the primary consideration.
Unfortunately, under the influence of capitalism, medical treatment tends to be commercialized, and dental implants are no longer "crazy" but "crazy", which has become the most powerful medical method, because most people and dentists have been misled.
Dental implant is one of the treatment methods for missing teeth, but it is not the first choice, and it is the final choice without any way. In many cases, traditional dentures, whether fixed or movable, can still have good results. In most cases, you don't have to use dental implants (you don't have to kill the chicken with an ox knife). However, under the traditional denture medical model, it is not easy to obtain high-level medical care, and many medical practitioners take the opportunity to publicize how great dental implants are.
In the past 30 years as a practicing dentist, I have often received patients who have uncomfortable dentures and can't get satisfactory solutions everywhere, saying, "I don't know, and I can't choose a therapist with better medical skills, which is very troublesome." 」
Because many patients and medical providers don't know the standard of successful treatment, even if patients "feel good", they are still far from the standard of success under the examination of experts! Because patients often use dental implants for a period of time, the bad situation will gradually emerge.
The treatment mode of traditional dentures is longer than that of dental implants. A large-scale literature study found that the biological complications of traditional fixed denture, such as secondary caries, periodontal disease, pulp disease, denture loosening and fracture, were about 10% during the period of10; However, after five years of dental implantation, about 20% ~ 50% of patients developed peri-implant inflammation (inflammation of gums and gums), and some implants were loose and broken, and artificial roots and dentures were loose and broken, which failed. In addition to the risk of wound infection, dental implants have other risks, such as wound bleeding, wound pain, wound swelling or poor healing, local anesthesia risk, and reoperation due to complications or unsatisfactory surgical results.
Patients with special symptoms, such as osteomyelitis, cellulitis, sinusitis, septicemia, subcutaneous emphysema, congestion and swelling of facial skin, temporary or permanent numbness of face, lips, mandible, teeth or tongue, difficulty in opening mouth and scar formation in oral cavity, need additional surgical materials, including soft tissue or hard tissue, and artificial tooth roots may be exposed and visible before the second operation.
According to a study, the injury to mandibular nerve is more serious, resulting in permanent paralysis of lips, teeth and tongue, about 5 ~ 15%. As for other rare complications, such as sublingual vascular injury, respiratory distress and vegetative state, or maxillary sinus surgery inflammation and death. To sum up, the current dental implant technology is not perfect, and it needs to be improved continuously in living people. It usually falls off within five years. Due to various reasons, it usually falls off within two years, with high cost and long time. It takes a year to implant a tooth. Some plants can only be planted twice in a lifetime.
2. Dental inlay is a bridge. For example, if a tooth is broken, it is necessary to insert a tooth when it is pulled out, but a bridge with two teeth should be built, and the good teeth on both sides should be ground before inserting it. A * * * is to insert three teeth. The technique of dental inlay has been used for hundreds of years, and it will be fine after more than ten years. Well maintained, it can be used for a lifetime.
Movable teeth are the best choice. The only disadvantage is that they should be taken off every night, soaked in natural water and brought back the next day. This technology can be said to be very old, and you can eat anything. Generally, the cost of replacing a movable tooth in 3-4 years is lower and the purchase price is cheaper.
