Services: Dental Implants: One Day Implants

One Day Implants or Immediate Implants

New technologies and materials now enables one day implants or immediate loading of implants to be done.

One day implants or same day implants refers to dental implants that are placed immediately at the time of extraction of a non-infected tooth. Immediate load implants refers to the placement of fixed prosthetics such as crowns or bridge on the implants immediately after the surgical phase of embedding the implants can now also be done.

Conventional implants is suited for most cases and provides good predictability taking about 2 to 6 months for treatment completion. Immediate implants and immediate loaded implants can shorten overall treatment time to 2 months or less. They are however not suited for all cases and an actual clinical examination is recommended by a certificed implantologist before determining the feasiblity for immeidate implants or immediated loaded implants.

SLActive Dental Implants from ITI Straumann

The SLActive Dental Implant System from ITI Straumann is a new dental implant surfaces that optimizes its molecular structure enabling a further reduction of the average healing time from 6-8 weeks to 3-4 weeks and are good options for immediate loaded or immediate dental implants treatments.

SLActive is based on the scientifically proven SLA surface topography, but exhibits a fundamentally improved surface chemistry. Due to its ideal conditioning, the chemically active and hydrophilic SLActive surface significantly promotes the initial healing reaction allowing a faster osseointegration process and higher implant stability.

SLActive is supported by more scientific studies than any other dental implant technology at the time of market launch. And the SLActive Multicenter Research indicates:

1. For patients the risks of failure is reduced by up to 60%
2. Aggressive protocols with immediate and early loading (at 4 weeks) shows excellent survival rate of 98%
3. Survival rate of 98% outperforms average survival rate in industry based on literature review on clinical studies across all other competitor implant systems
4. Results illustrates that SLActive offers more implant stability in the early critical loading period relative to conventional implant surfaces

TiUnite Dental Implants from Nobel BioCare

The dental implant systems from Nobel Biocare uses the TiUnite material. TiUnite surface provides uniquely superior stabilization that enhances the titanium oxide layer.

TiUnite is a unique implant surface that enables:

• Enhanced osseointegration for unmatched stablility
• Immediate Function for patients
• Ideal texture and porosity for bone apposition
• Enhanced environment for bone formation
• Soft Tissue integration for healthy connective/epithelial tissue and a natural looking gingiva
• Its structure most similar to human cancellous bone thus absorbs blood proteins, aids bone growth
  

The TiUnite incorporates a multifaceted approach to support the complex biological events that help assure restorative success.

Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria for Immediate Implants

If you have a fractured or decayed tooth that needs to be extracted, a dental implant may be placed at the time of the tooth extraction. However, if your fractured or decayed tooth is infected, immediate dental implant placement is not advisable. There should be no apical disorder or inflammation at the area of the implant site.

Good bone quality and quantity is required for immediate implants to be successful, thus single day implants may not be applicable to all cases. Different bone volume and density and preparation techniques will influence the level of stability. The patient should be healthy and compliant with good oral hygiene.

Other criterias include having good gingival/ periodontal or periapical status of adjacent teeth as well as favourable and stable occlusal relationship.

As with any procedure, it is always important to consult with your dental specialists on whether a particular treatment such as immediate implant is suitable for you.
