Dental implant installation is one of the most in-demand surgical dental procedures<\/strong><\/span>.<\/a> Dental implantation’s first known cases are known from Ancient Mayans, who installed them in around 600. However, modern titanium dental implants have a relatively new history, it is around 60 years old. The pioneer\/inventor in the field in the XX century was Swedish physician and Researcher Per-Ingvar Br\u00e5nemark. Mr. Br\u00e5nemark found out that the body tolerates the long-term presence of titanium material. Further, he decided to use titanium implants as a base in human jaws for further placement on artificial crowns. This was the beginning of changing of lives of people with missing teeth.<\/span><\/p>\n Modern dental implants were introduced to Georgia in the late 90s. Pioneers of the installation of dental implants in Tbilisi are Dr. Kakhaber Gurgenidze, Dr. Giorgi Gviniashvili, Dr. Mamuka Gogiberidze, Dr. Kakhaber Metreveli.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dental implants have three major functions:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The chewing \/ biting function of teeth is obviously the primary function of teeth in order to process food. The biting pressure of 1 tooth is on average around 100kg. So, lacking even one tooth results in a certain lack of its proper processing. It creates discomfort as in certain cases you may need to avoid eating the food that you would like. However, when the lost teeth number increases – one may be in need of eating only liquid or very soupy mixtures. As a result, the body may lack the required vitamins and minerals.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Lack of 1 tooth may be not that catastrophic for the overall chewing function of teeth, but lack of a tooth may result in very serious change of the overall outlook of a person. A person with healthy-looking teeth is associated with a person:<\/span><\/p>\n Thus, aesthetical function of having teeth plays pivotal role in confidence of person, especially when smiling.<\/span><\/p>\n Lack of teeth has direct impact on health of jaws’ bone. When the place in jaw which was functioning as base for tooth is now used itself for chewing function – it causes:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Process of dental implants installation consists of multiple steps:<\/span><\/p>\n Each step is crucial. Generally, dental implantation needs proper planning and readiness from the patient to commit.<\/span><\/p>\n As mentioned before, in our dental clinic in Tbilisi – we make dental implantation only by navigational method. Navigational method of dental implantation means that the process is planned via software, that uses CT scan of the patient and experience of the implantologist. With help of the software – implantologist analyses various outcomes of different positionings and angles, deciding which option is the most beneficial for the patient.<\/span><\/p>\n Once the best positioning is determined – the clinic fabricates surgical guide for very precise installation in accordance with plan set in advance. The accuracy of the installed implants is sub-millimeter. Only after putting those surgical guides on the patients jaws the installation is completed.<\/span><\/p>\n Using this method maximized precision and minimizes trauma. This creates huge value, as the surgery and healing time become shorter. Plus to that, the patient has much better understanding and view in their mind of the expectations from the operation.<\/span><\/p>\n All-on-4 and all-on-6 represents two most popular techniques for installation of dental implants. They are used in cases where there is no, or almost no teeth left in the oral cavity. As it is clear from the name of techniques: all-on-4 means that the whole prosthesis is supported by 4 implants, whereas all-on-6 means that 6 implants are used for the same purposes. The choice between All-on-4 and All-on-6 dental implant procedures depends on various factors including the patient’s oral health, bone density, and treatment goals.<\/span><\/p>\n All-on-6 is used mainly for patients with better bone density or volume, or for those who require additional stability due to extensive tooth loss or bone resorption. Whereas, all-on-4 normally is needed\u00a0for patients with moderate to severe bone loss as it relies on strategic implant placement to maximize existing bone support.<\/span><\/p>\n All-on-6 makes it possible to distribute support of prosthesis on more implants than all-on-4, which creates additional support and stability. From a timing perspective, obviously all-on-6 requires more time and is more expensive. The success rate can be equal using both techniques.<\/span><\/p>\n Ultimately, the choice between All-on-4 and All-on-6 implants should be made in consultation with a qualified dental professional who can assess the patient’s specific needs, oral health status, and treatment objectives. Our dental clinic uses in practice both techniques, depending on case. Contact us for getting a consultation<\/strong><\/span>.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Without going into detail, we would emphasize that the usage of certain types of dental implants varies depending on the jawbone density and thickness. All implants used are normally made out of titanium material. The difference between the implants is normally their design, screws, abutments, and modified \/ sophisticated outer parts. Some dental implants are specifically produced to be inserted:<\/span><\/p>\n Renowned dental implant producer countries are the USA, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Israel, South Korea, and Italy.
