12 questions about dental implantation in one day

        With the advancement of medical technology, dental implantation has become a very common way to make up for missing teeth, but the long course of treatment often deters many impatient people. Now there is a new technology of "one-day dental implantation" in dentistry. What is the principle of one-day dental implantation? Far Eastern Memorial Hospital specialist is invited to give you a detailed explanation in this issue.

        Q1: What is dental implant?
         Dental implant, implant and artificial root all refer to the use of titanium screw, in the way of surgery into the jaw, wait for three months, and then lock the denture into the artificial root, replacing the extracted root. Since its advent in 1965, after 50 years of clinical experience, the success rate has averaged over 95%.

        Q2: The process of dental implantation
         The traditional process of dental implantation requires three to four months after extraction, wound healing, another minor operation to implant artificial root into the body, and three to six months after implantation, before the denture can be installed. With the development of science and technology, the surface treatment of dental implants and the instruments of dental implants have made great progress. Now it is possible to complete the extraction, implantation and implantation of dentures in the same day.

        Q3: What is a one-day dental implant?
         One day of dental implantation has two characteristics: one is to implant the artificial root immediately on the day of extraction, the other is to put the denture on the same day of implantation, in other words, it only needs to see a doctor once from tooth extraction to denture installation.

        Q4: Are there any problems with dentures?
         Temporary dentures are usually used for one-day denture implantation, mainly for the sake of aesthetics and less occlusal strength, so doctors will ask patients not to use temporary teeth to bite food as much as possible. Real dentures need to wait three months for another model to be made. During the period, the patients will return every two or three weeks to determine if there are any adverse reactions.

        Q5: Can't permanent dentures be installed directly on the day of implantation?
         The risk of implanting permanent dentures on the day of dental implantation is still high, because the operation will cause some instability and trace bone absorption around the implant. Under the influence of occlusal force, the phenomenon of bone instability and bone absorption will become more serious, so it is better to wait for three months to put permanent dentures after bone stabilization.
         　
         Q6: What are the benefits of dental implants per day?
         　　The combination of extraction and implantation on the same day can reduce the number of operations and shorten the whole course of treatment. A pair of temporary teeth can be obtained on the day of extraction and implantation. The overall treatment time can also be reduced to three months, unlike the traditional process from extraction to denture installation, which takes more than six months. In addition, installing temporary dentures first can ensure beauty and comfort, avoid the embarrassing period of anterior teeth missing, and avoid the foreign body feeling of using temporary removable dentures.

        Q7: What are the disadvantages of dental implantation in one day?
         Extraction and implantation have fewer shortcomings on the same day, but if implantation and denture are installed on the same day, there will be a higher failure rate, which requires doctors to carefully select patients with good conditions to carry out, and intensive follow-up observation. If adverse reactions are found, doctors will immediately remove the denture and wait for three months before reinstallation, even more serious. Remove the implant and return to the traditional stage dental implant process.
         　　
         Q8: Will there be any complications of dental implantation in one day?
         One-day dental implantation is still a minor operation, and all the problems that may arise during the operation can not be ruled out. Although the chance of occurrence is not great, there will be occasional bleeding and swelling, wound infection, or even implant failure and loss. Therefore, careful examination before operation, timely evaluation during operation, timely medication after operation, and no need to implement one-day dental implantation quickly and forcibly can effectively reduce complications. Probability.

        Q9: Will the cost of dental implants be more expensive per day?
         The process of one-day dental implantation is the same as that of general dental implantation, but it is shortened within the same visiting time, so the fee is the same as that of general dental implantation.

        Q10: Does a day of dental implantation require bone repair?
         Not necessarily, the physician will evaluate the need for bone repair according to the patient's condition. The more patients need bone repair, the less suitable for the one-day dental implantation process.

        Q11: Is it also suitable for patients with complete edentulous mouth?
         Of course, one-day dentures were initially used in patients with edentulous mandible, but now they have been widely used in patients with complete edentulous maxilla and mandible. Local or single edentulous anterior and posterior teeth are also suitable. Four to six artificial roots are implanted in patients with complete edentulous mandible. Six to eight artificial roots are needed in the whole mandible, and then fixed dentures are placed.

        Q12: Is it also suitable for patients with diabetes, heart disease and kidney disease to have dental implants in one day?
         Depending on the situation of each patient, dental implantation needs intensive treatment. It also requires at least two hours of treatment on the day of dental implantation. It takes even a whole day for a patient without teeth to complete dental implantation and filling. It also requires intensive follow-up, which is not suitable for patients with inconvenient movement or poor physical condition.
