Guided Implantation
The aim of implantation is to restore missing teeth
An implant with prosthesis is consisted of an implant, abutment post and crown. The implant is placed in the jawbone to serve as an anchor for a crown. The crown plays a major role for chewing. The abutment post is a component that connects the implant and crown. A dental implant is the best way to restore a missing tooth, for its structure mimics a natural tooth.
Procedures involved are carefully guided
The position of an implant should be determined by that of the crown above; this is what is referred to as “implantation guided by prosthesis,” in the International Implantation Guide. Without critical analysis of implant position before surgery, or use of surgical guide for implant placement especially when several teeth are missing from the adjacent area, the implant position may not be ideal, so it may have a negative influence on the implant during chewing, further causing the failure of implantation.
40μm fine bite adjustment
The complexity and demand for precision of the crown above the implant is higher than normal crowns, because the natural root has about 40μm of physical movement inside the alveolar bone, whereas implants bond with the bone tissue to obtain stability, which allows bare movement. Therefore, the 40um fine bite adjustment for the crown is also a key procedure for a successful surgery.
Implantation requires dentists’ substantial knowledge and clinical experience, and keeping up with the latest international progress as well. “Subtle operation,” “painless”, “only a minor reaction after surgery”, and “the implant feels like a natural tooth,” are constant feedback we hear from our patients.
