Implant Treatment in Cases of Bone Insufficiency
It is necessary to thoroughly examine the areas where implants will be applied and perform a clinical examination. During the clinical examination, oral and dental health, as well as gum health, should be evaluated. If there are any issues, they should be treated before starting implant therapy. Radiographic examination should be conducted to assess the height, thickness, and quality of the bone. For patients with low or borderline bone density, dental tomography is taken to minimize the margin of error, and treatment is planned accordingly.
Is Panoramic X-Ray Sufficient?
Panoramic X-rays provide two-dimensional information. For patients with low or borderline bone density, they may not provide enough information for accurate measurement. Therefore, three-dimensional dental tomographies are necessary for planning implant treatment. Tomographies show bone and soft tissue details that are not visible on standard X-rays and provide more detailed information.
Can I Get Implants If I Have Bone Loss in My Body?
Bone loss in the body and bone loss in the mouth are entirely different conditions. A person with bone loss in their body may not have bone loss in their mouth, or vice versa. Therefore, whether you are a suitable candidate for implant treatment should be assessed by your dentist through an examination.
What Can Be Done If There Is Not Enough Bone in the Upper Jaw?
There may be excessive bone loss in the upper jaw, or the sinuses (air-filled spaces in the skull) may have dropped down. In such cases, a sinus lifting procedure is performed to increase the amount of bone, and a bone graft is applied simultaneously. After these procedures, the amount and volume of bone increase. You may need to wait 3-5 months after a bone graft before proceeding with implant treatment.
What Can Be Done If There Is Not Enough Bone in the Lower Jaw?
Excessive bone loss can occur in the lower jaw, and the most common issue is getting close to the nerve that runs through the lower jaw. In cases where the bone amount is insufficient, the amount and volume of bone can be increased with a bone graft. After these procedures, you should wait for 3 months to allow bone formation before successfully applying implant treatment.
What Is Bone Grafting, Bone Augmentation, and Bone Powder Application?
Bone grafting, bone augmentation, and bone powder application are procedures used to thicken and increase the height of the bone to enable implant treatment. During these procedures, the patient's own bone may be used, or specially manufactured bone powder and grafts may be applied. After these procedures, it is necessary to wait 3-5 months for the bone to increase and fuse. Once bone formation is complete, implant treatment can be successfully applied.
