Two-component transdental implants.

Z Lazić·A Skundrić·S Matić·N Stojiljković

Abstract

Transdental implantation is a procedure of tooth stabilization in maxillary and/or mandibular bone. Indications for use of these implants are root fractures, chronic periapical inflammations and periodontal disease. Transdental implants have been used in the Clinic for Maxillofacial Surgery since 1977. In the period of 20 years of treatment 490 two-component transdental implants have been inserted and failure rate was 9% (43). Considering our experience and that of other authors we can conclude that with proper indications and sophisticated surgical technique the use of this type of implants has favorable survival rate.

Four uses of a disposable implant mount.

The high cost of precision-fitting, machine-milled implant components is a major concern, and the dentist with a busy implant practice must stock numerous components at considerable expense. In this article, the use of a disposable implant mount is described as an adjunct for a positional index during stage-I surgery, immediate provisional restoration at stage-II surgery, verification jig, and implant-supported record base. By reusing the precision-fitting implant mount that is supplied free of charge by the manufacturer, the dentist can reduce the overhead costs required to provide implant prosthodontic treatment.

An overview of implant marketing.

Implant dentistry is no longer a new field, but there is still plenty of room for it to grow. Over the years, implant dentistry has grown steadily but not as quickly as it could. Because of the high degree of complexity and high costs associated with practicing implant dentistry, the growth of composite bonding, for example, quickly surpassed that of implants. Although each is an answer to a desperate dental service need, composite bonding provided the only answer, whereas implants have much less costly and less complex alternatives, i.e., dentures. However, with the emergence of high technology in dentistry and young dentists who are motivated to use high technology and practice higher revenue-oriented dentistry, the author believes that implant dentistry will soon begin to grow much more quickly than it has over the last 10 years. As technology continually facilitates and improves the results of implant dentistry, patients will begin to realize the limitation of dentures and will become more comfortable with finding a permanent, more attractive, and more valuable alternative.
