OXY Premium implants

Dental care Implants implant placement implantology implants

These are sophisticated titanium screws that are installed in the jawbone as a replacement for the natural roots of the teeth, or as supports for crowns, bridges or dentures.

Premium implants look and function like natural teeth and in the jaw they stop the process of bone resorption and the consequent withdrawal of the gums.

Composition and warranty of OXY PREMIUM implants

OXY PREMIUM implants are made of pure titanium with a high degree of its biocompatibility – the property that in a living organism it does not cause a reaction to a foreign body, is not resorbed, is not toxic or carcinogenic and completely adheres to bone.

The premium group of implants is characterized by the high purity of the titanium from which they are made, they do not contain any additional impurities such as nickel, cobalt or other metals, which is extremely important for patients with allergic reactions to metals or their alloys.

OXY Premium implants have many abutments that provide the dentist with a large number of possibilities to ultimately produce aesthetically and functionally phenomenal prosthetic work from a complex situation.

The outer surface of the implant is perfectly treated, which promotes adhesion to the bone

Each implant has a specially treated outer surface, and with Premium implants this is done so precisely and perfectly that these implants allow us a much earlier load, which was not the case before their installation because we still had to wait a while before the implant implanted a prosthetic replacement and crown.

Guarantees and certificates

For the Premium implant during installation, you receive a certificate by which OXY guarantees the quality of the implant, the implant booklet, ie the passport, and gives a lifetime guarantee, but also that in 100 years it will have produced all prosthetic components that match the implant.

The prosthetic part is perfectly compatible with the implant

Another reason why we use OXY Premium implants. The prosthetic parts that enter the implant are so well made that the fit of the prosthetic part into the implant is made perfectly. In the event that there is a small or even micrometer displacement in the joint of the implant and the prosthetic part, during the transmission of forces in the bite, there may be increased resorption or loss of bone along the implant head due to this displacement. With OXY Premium implants, this connection is so strong and precise that this danger simply does not exist.

Bone augmentation for implant placement

Bone augmentation Implants Tips artificial bone autologous bone bone augmentation implant placement large sinus lift oral surgery procedure PRF protocol small sinus lift tooth extraction

What happens in the jaw when you run out of teeth?

Prevention of tooth loss is the basic starting point of modern dentistry. However, sometimes tooth extraction is necessary. Tooth extraction is an oral-surgical procedure, removing a tooth or its remains from the dental cup (alveoli). The tooth has to be extracted when, even after various methods of dental treatment, it’s still in a very bad condition or when the tooth is so damaged that it cannot be saved by any other therapy.

What can happen if you don’t replace a lost tooth?

The function of all teeth and their contact of opposite jaws is that the teeth maintain their constant position in the alveolar bone. If a tooth is extracted, it is very important to replace it with a prosthetic replacement because the loss of a tooth causes certain changes in the adjacent teeth. The gnashing of teeth, the distance between the teeth, the weakened bite, the speech disturbances, too, the stimulation of the bone ceases and in that part the bone begins to decay. Due to the improper load on the remaining teeth, they become movable and there is a load on the masticatory muscles, which results in changes and pain in the jaw joint. After the loss of a tooth, the adjacent teeth lean into the empty space, and the teeth in the adjacent jaw “grow out” and the tooth may move from the opposite jaw that was in contact with the extracted tooth into the toothless space.

How to replace an extracted tooth?

To prevent the consequences of tooth loss, it is necessary to compensate as soon as possible in order to establish optimal conditions for masticatory function. The healing period of the wound where the tooth was extracted lasts on average 4 to 8 weeks, and after the wound is completely healed, it is possible to start prosthetic work. Teeth can be compensated in several ways. The possibilities are various and can be solved with a combination of prosthetic replacements. The solution can be implant placement, fixed prosthetics (bridges and crowns) or mobile prosthetics (dentures or dentures on implants).

Tooth loss often leads to bone loss, but there are solutions for that as well.

Did you know that implant placement is also possible in case of bone deficiency?

Implants are a popular method of tooth replacement because they solve the functional and aesthetic problems, and they also function like natural teeth and can stop further bone loss in the oral cavity.

By regenerating the bone, we stop the retraction of the gums and the further decay of the jawbone, and thus the collapse of the adjacent teeth.

Tooth loss often leads to bone loss. If the bone under the gums is not high or wide enough, it is necessary to regenerate or upgrade the bone (augmentation) so that the implant can be successfully placed in it.

Using specialized materials and methods, transplatation can be done with patiants own bone or an artificial bone.

Depending on the types of materials and methods after bone augmentation, the regeneration time lasts from 4 to 6 months after which implant placement therapy can be started.

Sinus lift is an oral-surgical procedure to lift the bottom of the sinus in order to upgrade the bone needed to place dental implants. If a longer period has passed since the lack of teeth in the posterior region, jaw bone deficiency can occur. The sinuses, without the bone that holds them in place, begin to expand and occupy the empty space where the bone once was. Without a sufficient amount of bone, it is impossible to place an implant. However, if the sinuses have descended, it is necessary to do a sinus lift.

The goal of the procedure is to fill a part of the sinus cavity with biomaterial that will ossify over time and form a solid foundation for future implants. Such a partially filled sinus will not have any negative effects on the physiological functions of the sinus and the health of the patient.

Depending on the amount of available bone, sinus lift is divided into:

Small sinus lift
Large sinus lift

Small sinus lift

This technique is performed at the same time as the implant placement. The procedure is performed when we have enough bone volume to place the implant. Using a small instrument, the doctor will raise the bottom of the sinus to its starting position. An artificial bone is then placed as a transplant material under the raised sinus membrane along the existing bone. In addition to stimulating the formation of new bone, the graft will keep the sinus at the required height and after that the implant will be placed. Without this procedure, sometimes is not possible to place an implant.

The sinus lift is done under local anesthesia so the procedure is completely painless.

Large sinus lift

When a larger volume of bone is missing, a sinus membrane lift is performed with a lateral approach in the oral cavity. If the available amount of bone is sufficient for a stable placement of the implant, its implantation is performed at the same time. Sometimes a larger amount of bone is missing and a sinus lift is performed with a delay in the placement of the implant until complete ossification occurs.

This method achieves favorable biomechanical conditions for normal chewing function of food.

In our Polyclinic we perform bone regeneration:

Blood plasma (PRF)

Prf protocol for bone augmentation with the help of own blood plasma

In case of a lack of bone for implant placement, with the PRF method we can upgrade the bone and implant in a completely natural and safe way.

The process begins by extracting the patient’s blood, which is further processed using a centrifuge. Vacuette are placed into a centrifuge device, and fibrin enriched with thrombocytes and plasma are extracted. By separating the blood components, we get a membrane for a faster, simpler and safer outcome of implant placement in cases of bone deficiency.

This method is completely harmless and safe, where we use no artificial materials, only the patient’s blood. PRF increases the predictability of wound healing and regeneration potential of tissues.

Artificial bone

These are artificially produced materials of synthetic or animal origin. They usually come in granular form and are sufficient for bone augmentation, that is for the correction of small and medium bone defects that have occurred due to periodontitis, tooth extraction or some other reasons.

Sometimes it is necessary to combine them with autologous bone to achieve better osteogenic potential, leading to faster new bone formation.

Surgery using artificial bone is faster and less demanding for both the surgeon and the patient. As with autologous bone, there is no pain after the procedure and the postoperative course is pleasant for the patient.

Autologous bone

A bone augmentation procedure performed with pieces of your own bone that can be taken from the chin or the back of the lower jaw.

Autologous bone can be used in one piece as a bone block or in sawdust.

Autologous bone graft is still the gold standard in oral surgery because it possesses the strongest osteogenic potential. Certainly, the fact that it is the patient’s own bone plays a big role.

This bone augmentation procedure has almost no post-operative pain and swelling. Patients do not feel any discomfort after the process and have only positive experiences.

Dental implants

Dental care Implants Tips implant placement implants

To regain the appearance and functionality of a missing tooth used to be very difficult to achieve. Dental implants have been known for decades as the best replacement for lost teeth. Their ability to successfully replace the function of a natural tooth root has been proven through millions of successfully placed dental implants.

Dental implants are very strog and durable and can last a lifetime if maintained regularly, and the installation procedure itself is completely painless.

Dental implants can replace 1 tooth, more than one or all teeth in one jaw if we install 4-6 implants.

A big advantage is that dental implants can be installed at any time, regardless of age.

DENTAL IMPLANT PLACEMENT PROCEDURE

Before the procedure, it’s necessary to make a three-dimensional reconstruction of the patient’s condition in the mouth using data obtained by recording with a CBCT device.
Based on the obtained data, the selection of the appropriate therapy is carried out using special software (3Diagnosys) which in a simple and intuitive way allows the oral surgeon to make a complete diagnosis and virtual plan of implant placement.
A treatment plan is created and the time and financial construction is determined

*in case of insufficient jaw bone, bone regeneration is required, it can be performed before or during implant placement:

Blood plasma
Artificial bone
Autologous bone

The installation of a dental implant is performed under local anesthesia, and the procedure is completely painless for the patient.

Dental implant placement takes approximately 15 min, but it all depends on each patient individually.

A titanium screw will be installed in the bone at the selected location, which is left to fuse with the bone.

Immediately after the procedure, the patient receives an antibiotic, analgesic and ice, and it is possible to function normally, and the next day you are able to perform work activities.

The healing time depends on the complexity and type of procedure and the condition of the patient’s bone, and lasts mainly about 3 months * in cases of bone regeneration up to 6 months.

After a period of recovery and successful fusion with the bone, a gingivoformer is placed on the implant, which shapes the gums for a prosthetic replacement.

When removing the gingivoformer (after 7 days), an impression is taken to make a prosthetic work, and in cooperation with dental laboratory technicians, we plan the appearance of the tooth, which is similar to making a crown on natural teeth.
After the final work is done, cementation follows.

“As with all procedures, there is always the possibility of complications. However, if the implants are installed according to the rules of the profession and in compliance with the recommendations of the implant manufacturer, the success rate is higher than 99%! ”

ADVANTAGES OF DENTAL IMPLANTS

To replace a lost tooth, dental implants are the best solution.
A dental implant completely replaces a lost tooth, and the appearance and functionality can be compared to a natural tooth.
Other solutions can lead to bone resorption and can interfere with eating, laughing, speaking and other daily activities.
Dental implants are a long-term solution. Traditional dental bridges supported by ground teeth last between five and seven years, with proper care for up to 10 years, but at some point they need to be replaced. Dental implants are a lifelong solution.
Dental implants allow you to maintain the natural shape of your face and smile. With the loss of teeth, the face loses support and gains a dilapidated appearance.
Empty space in the mouth caused by tooth loss can cause additional health problems, such as the loss or decay of part of the jaw. A dental implant is the only tooth replacement option that keeps the bone healthy by stimulating bone growth and thus preventing it from decaying.
Dental implants are placed in the jaw, where the root of the lost tooth was, without affecting healthy teeth. They also prevent healthy surrounding teeth from moving, as is the case when an empty space is left in place of a lost tooth.
