What is an implant?
In dentistry, it is an element that replaces the root of own tooth. When surgically implemented into the bone of the alveolus appendix, it enables to perform a fixed prosthetic restoration. Titanium is the basic material from which the implants are made. It is perfectly tolerated by the human body, and at the same time durable enough to take loads to which the roots of natural teeth are subject.
The entire treatment is divided into two stages. In the fist ñ surgical stage, a titanium implant is implanted. Only after several months it is possible to do the prosthetic reconstruction and subject the implants to any loads. The process is long-lasting, but in exchange it guarantees a lifelong foundation for prosthetics. However, not every patient can be treated with implants. Diseases such as tumours, AIDS, diabetes, hypertensions, osteoporosis, and mental diseases are absolute contraindications for this treatment. Addicted smokers, alcoholics, persons with allergies, persons suffering from rheumatic disease, coronary disease, persons older than 65, young persons, who are still growing should rather not have implants.
