Implantology
the specialty
Implantology is a specialty that has evolved and changed a lot over the years. It aims to rehabilitate spaces where there has been tooth loss, whether it is just one tooth, or even all teeth. Technological advances and studies with materials and techniques allowed us to reach what we call today Osteointegrated Implants. Osteointegrated implants are composed of Titanium alloys (Ti), the purest, with coatings and treatments of the implant surface that provide an increase biocompatibility and the integration of the implant with the bone around it, and also stimulate the formation of bone around it, promoting the
we call osseointegration, where metal and bone integrate and form a single structure. And this entire process provides fixation and stability to the implant, allowing it to support the prosthesis.
The implant is nothing more than a titanium screw that is affixed to the bone, and after its union with the bone, it serves as the basis for support and fixation of the dental prosthesis, whether it has a single tooth or more, also varying the number of implants according to the number of prostheses.
Rehabilitation with implants provides great comfort for the patient, as the dentures are fixed, allowing comfortable chewing, as well as speaking and smiling. It's the aesthetic gain is very big!
