More translucent and resistant cubic zirconia crowns

Translucent cubic zirconia is an evolution of conventional dental zirconia. Dental zirconia is increasingly being used as a material for making a dental crown or even for a fixed prosthesis on dental implants. As our dental Clinic is integrated with a dental Lab in Sao Paulo-Brazil, we can easily delivery zirconia crowns in a new days. Translucent Zirconia has certainly come to revolutionize the way dental prostheses are made, since it uses modern computer graphics resources to design the prostheses, and modern 3D milling machines to sculpt them. This makes treatment faster and more comfortable for the patient.

In addition, Zirconia is the most resistant material compared to other types of crowns and allows for results with a high degree of naturalness, being the most similar to the appearance of natural teeth.

Zirconia can also be used on implants, full arch implant bridges and partial prostheses.

Why is dental zirconia an excellent material?

First and foremost, one of the greatest advantages of the Pure Zirconia dental crown is its strength and durability. In addition, its modern execution method, which doesn’t require the old mass moldings and only uses a 3D scanner, makes the treatment much more comfortable for the patient. It is therefore an excellent option for those who want metal-free treatment, a situation that is highly valued today with biological dentistry.

These zirconia structures can be used both for implant prostheses, types of crowns on implants and for crowns on natural teeth. One of the pioneering companies in the development of durable and aesthetic zirconia dental prostheses is the Austrian company AmannGirrbach. Now it is introducing a new type of dental ceramic: Zolid FX translucent cubic zirconia.

It is a fully biocompatible material used to make first-rate prosthetic crowns, not only single-unit, but also bridges of up to 3 units. The main characteristics of Zolid FX are its super-high translucency, high strength and long-term stability.

It is therefore a strong alternative to the already established lithium disilicate (glass ceramic), and can therefore be especially suitable for cases that require high porcelain crown strength. Cubic zirconia crowns can be installed both anteriorly with excellent aesthetics and posteriorly. They can also be used in dental implant treatment.

What is the manufacturing process like?

The Zolid FX cubic zirconia crown is made using computerized CAD/CAM equipment. It starts with milling the rough block on a 3D printer to the shape of the tooth. The zirconia crown is finished with the manual addition of colors and shading so that the crown has natural visual characteristics, like the neighboring teeth. The pure zirconia crown is super aesthetic and is up to 10 times stronger than ordinary (feldspatica) porcelain.

… After a dental implant, can I place the tooth on the same day? See here…

Translucent cubic zirconia crowns are suitable for bruxism patients due to their resistance

Bruxism is an oral functional disorder characterized by involuntary grinding or clenching of the teeth. The excessive force generated by bruxism can cause not only muscle and joint pain in simpler cases, but also the destruction of part of the tissues (bone and gum), enamel or the structure of the dental crown in more advanced cases.

It is important to remember that before your permanent porcelain crown is made, you will receive a temporary crown. This is used to check the aesthetics and chewability of the permanent crown.

However, bruxism can be just as damaging to the structures of prosthetic crowns made from certain materials. For this reason, there has always been a need to develop prostheses with increasingly resistant and stable materials, and at the same time aesthetic (without metals in the structure).

Meet the Ceramill Motion 2 3D tooth printer

The translucency and strength characteristics of Zolid FX are fundamental to making the prosthetic crown very comparable to natural teeth. The result is extremely aesthetic crowns and restorations with high strength and long-term stability.

ImplArt Dental Clinic only works with materials of the highest quality, developed by serious companies. For example, AmannGirrbach, which only introduces materials and equipment to the market after carrying out numerous tests and research.

Root Canal or Dental Implant treatment?

When faced with serious dental problems, such as infections or severe decay of a tooth, the question arises: should you opt for root canal or dental implant treatment? According to Dr. Roberto Markarian, implant dentist and director of the ImplArt Clinic, the choice depends on a careful evaluation, considering factors such as the integrity of the tooth, general oral health and the technological options available.

The good news is that there are resources that allow you to visualize the dental situation beforehand and thus guide the initial course of action to be adopted. Even so, it’s important to bear in mind that the treatment may be altered if, during the process, a root fracture or more severe dental impairment than initially anticipated is identified.

Root canal or dental implant? When root canal treatment is the best option

Root canal treatment is indicated when the pulp of the tooth has been compromised but its structure can still be preserved. This procedure is ideal for eliminating infection, restoring functionality and maintaining the natural tooth. According to Dr. Roberto Markarian, preserving the natural tooth whenever possible offers important advantages:

  • Dental Proprioception: Natural teeth have periodontal ligaments that allow them to feel chewing forces, something that is lost when using implants.
  • Maintaining Gingival Anatomy: Preserving the tooth helps to maintain the aesthetic harmony of the surrounding gums, facilitating a more natural restoration.
  • Possibility of placing crowns: After a successful root canal treatment , the tooth can receive a high-quality crown, guaranteeing functionality and aesthetics.

Root Canal or Dental Implant treatment?

Is it possible to be 100% sure about saving a tooth with an X-ray alone?

Some of the most common questions patients ask when deciding between root canal treatment or dental implants are: can you be absolutely sure that the tooth will be saved just by looking at the X-ray? Or even: is it possible to know for sure whether or not the tooth needs root canal treatment just by looking at the X-ray?

According to Dr. Roberto Markarian, implant dentist and director of the ImplArt Clinic, dentistry is not an exact science and, as in any area of health, it is not possible to offer 100% guarantees on results because we are talking about an organism. Although radiography is an essential tool for diagnosis, allowing the professional to assess the integrity of the root, the presence of infections and other structural conditions, it does not reveal all the details of the case. Microscopic fractures or conditions that are not visible on the scan can influence the success of the treatment and require the specialist to change their approach.

“Our mission as health professionals is to use the best available resources, such as advanced imaging exams and modern techniques, to offer the best possible prognosis,” says Dr. Markarian. At the ImplArt Clinic, we combine clinical experience with cutting-edge technologies to increase the chances of success in every procedure, whether it’s root canal treatment or the placement of dental implants.

Professional experience makes a difference when it comes to root canal treatment or dental implants

Of course, the dentist’s experience and knowledge are fundamental. In addition to radiographic analysis, it is necessary to clinically assess the tooth, the extent of the damage, possible hidden fractures, and the health of the surrounding tissue.“Our commitment is to act responsibly and offer the best alternatives available to preserve the tooth whenever possible, with a focus on long-lasting, high-quality results,” adds Dr. Markarian. Therefore, if there is a possibility of preserving the tooth, root canal treatment is the first option. Only secondly, if it is not possible to keep it, or even if irreversible damage to the tooth is identified, do we opt for extraction and a dental implant in the same surgery.

Watch the video below where Dr. Roberto Markarian talks about the benefits of extracting a tooth and placing an implant on the same day.

This approach demonstrates the importance of relying on a specialized professional, using the best practices and technologies to guarantee the most effective treatment for each patient, whether for root canal treatment or dental implants.

Is root canal treatment 100% guaranteed?

We know that root canal treatment is the last resort to save a tooth and therefore there is always a chance of failure. We must remember that although it is possible to evaluate radiographic examinations, we are talking about a health treatment whose planning may change over the course of the treatment and the next step is extraction followed by a dental implant.

See the image below for an example of a particular case in which the X-ray alone could have led to uncertainty about the diagnosis. However, the combination of the clinical assessment(swelling, pus), the patient’s report ( pain after accidentally biting a bone) and the X-ray made it possible to identify that there was a fracture in the area, culminating in the indication of simultaneous extraction and dental implantation.

dental fracture
Photo shows a tooth that was removed because it had a crack. Radiographically, the case could be mistaken for a root canal, but root canal treatment would not solve the problem because bacteria would be lodged in the cracked area.

Can I insist on a root canal?: Cases where a root canal doesn’t solve the problem

Root canal or dental implant? Even with technological advances, there are situations in which root canal treatment or retreatment doesn’t solve the problem. Root fractures, for example, can make the tooth unfeasible, making it necessary to remove it and consider alternatives such as dental implants.

Therefore, in the vast majority of cases it is not a choice between root canal treatment or dental implants, but a necessity. That’s why it’s essential to trust the professional in charge of the treatment, so that he or she can be sure of the best course of action.

Biological dentistry and root canal treatment

The current trend of biological dentistry, which is very widespread today, does not recommend root canal treatments on the grounds of toxicity. However, this claim still lacks scientific proof. Studies show that treatment, when carried out with biocompatible materials and modern techniques, is safe. At the ImplArt Clinic, we use the best practices to offer safe, long-lasting results and we value the patient’s well-being.

When Dental Implants Are Necessary

In cases where the tooth cannot be saved, dental implants are the definitive solution. The ImplArt Dental Clinic is a pioneer in technologies such as the use of zirconia prostheses and digital implant planning, detailed on our advanced dental implants page.

However, according to Dr. Roberto Markarian, “the implant, no matter how good, will never be superior to the natural tooth in terms of biology and functionality.” Some considerations about implants include:

  • Loss of Proprioception: Implants have no periodontal ligaments, eliminating the ability to perceive masticatory forces.
  • Need for Aesthetic Planning: To achieve optimal results, careful planning of the gingival anatomy around the implant is necessary

Therefore, whenever possible, the ImplArt Clinic chooses to preserve the tooth. Dental implants are only indicated when there are no other alternatives to save a severely compromised tooth.

What are bone grafts?

Bone grafts are techniques to supplement the bone lost in the patient’s jaw. They can be performed simultaneously with the insertion of the dental implant, or require a healing period. Each indication will depend on an analysis of the patient’s case. But rest assured, today’s bone grafting techniques are very modern and painless for the patient. The results are certainly worth it because dental implants are the best solution for restoring missing teeth!

Bone grafts are used to reconstruct the area that has lost height or thickness

In some cases, it is not possible to place dental implants without first doing bone grafts. People who have lost one or more teeth due to accidents or extractions always think about reconstructing their dental arch in order to smile without embarrassment and for this, dental implant placement is certainly an excellent option.

When people lose their teeth and don’t replace them immediately, they experience bone resorption. As a result, the bone in the area becomes thinner and taller, or has defects in its shape. In the upper jaw, the size of the maxillary sinus can increase, which in principle prevents implants from being placed. In addition, with tooth loss, expressions become limited, the mouth shrivels, chewing becomes difficult and speech can also be altered.

In this way , bone grafting serves to rebuild enough structure to allow the implant to be made, restoring the lost volume to the atrophied bone. For this technique, the dentist can use the patient’s own bone material, taken from the mouth (for small reconstructions) or taken from other sites, such as the hip bone (iliac) and skull cap (for large extensions).

There are different bone grafting techniques, each with its own particularities

In the case of smaller, more common grafts, the bone grafting procedure can be done in the office using local anesthesia. For larger areas, the surgical intervention is performed in a hospital by a larger, multidisciplinary team under general anesthesia. The patient does not lose teeth while the bone graft heals.

It is also possible to use a xenogenous bone graft crystal, when the bone comes from animals (freeze-dried bovine bone – Genox or Bioss), human bone from bone banks (bone transplant) or synthetic vitreous materials (synthetic hydroxyapatite). However, the most easily regenerated material is bone graft taken from the person themselves (autogenous bone).

Types of bone graft materials

The procedure can be carried out in fragments or as a block. Many people are afraid of undergoing a bone graft, but in fact the procedure can be very simple. All the materials are biosecure and undergo strict controls to prevent contamination.

Smaller bone grafts are non-invasive and can be used to supplement the bone around a newly placed implant. However, in people who have lost their teeth many years ago, larger bone grafts may be necessary. ImplArt’s philosophy is to avoid bone grafts and has mastered alternative techniques such as:

Bone loss: causes

Bone loss can occur for a number of reasons, but the most common is tooth loss or extraction without immediate replacement. When a person loses their teeth, the body resorbs the bone in the maxilla or mandible because it understands that the bone no longer has a function (which was to provide support for the teeth). This loss is progressive and over the years the person has little bone volume in terms of height and width, which at first makes it difficult to place dental implants.

upper arch bone grafts
What are bone grafts?

Maxillary sinus lift or sinus lift

A sinus lift is a surgical procedure for bone grafting in the posterior region of the upper jaw. The aim is to increase the amount of bone in height so that a longer dental implant can be placed.

When a person loses one or more teeth in the upper arch, there is a loss of bone in height and the maxillary sinus shrinks (fig.1). The procedure is carried out in this way: First, a small opening is made in the gum in the lateral region of the bone defect (fig.2).

A variable amount of bone regeneration precursor material is then placed inside this opening (figs.3,4). The surgery is quick and usually takes no more than 30 minutes with an experienced surgeon. Bone regeneration takes between 4 and 9 months (fig.5), and then the implants are placed (fig.6), but radiographic examinations are carried out beforehand to check the progress of bone regeneration.

Materials used in bone grafts

Nowadays we have a variety of materials that can be used for bone grafts in the maxillary sinus:

  • Bovine freeze-dried bone – Genox
  • Autogenous bone (from the person)
  • Synthetic hydroxyapatite (bone precursor)
  • Bone bank homologous bone (bone transplant)
  • Synthetic vitreous materials – Bioss
  • Grafts with biological stimulators such as fibrin (PRF), platelets (PRP), or bone proteins (BMP)

Studies show that all materials are favorable for this type of graft, depending only on the surgeon’s preference.

Pre- and post-operative care of dental implants

Dental implant recovery and care of dental implants before and after surgery

The post-operative period for dental implants and the preparation before dental implant surgery are certainly fundamental to the success of the procedure. We have therefore prepared recommendations for patients who are going to have a dental implant, which can also be applied to minor dental surgery.

We should certainly point out that the care of dental implant surgery is considered a simple and minor intervention from a medical point of view, with low risk for the patient. The duration of surgery is short and recovery after implant surgery is also considered to be easy for the patient, even in cases of complete oral rehabilitation.

Recommendations before dental implant surgery

What should I do before a dental implant?

  • Eat normally before the procedure if the surgery involves local anesthesia. If you have opted for sedation, follow the specific guidelines for your case, which may involve fasting.
  • Take the prescribed medication 1 hour before arriving at the clinic. If indicated for your case, preferably come accompanied by someone who can drive.
Pre- and post-operative dental implants
care of dental implants
Stitches for dental implants should be removed between 7 and 10 days.

After implant surgery – care of dental implants urgery

What should I do after dental implants, after implant surgery (for 48 hours)?

  • Apply ice to the face to prevent swelling
  • Avoid physical exertion
  • Sanitize the area with a cotton swab moistened with an antiseptic solution (Periogard, Listerine, Plax).
  • Prefer soft or pasty foods
  • Normal brushing of other teeth
  • Wear prostheses or braces for as short a time as possible
  • Take medication as directed by the dentist

What I can’t do after an immediate dental implant (48 hours)

What to eat after dental implant surgery?

  • For 2 days: you should eat cold or iced food. For example: ice cream, jelly, juices, smoothies, soups.
  • Also avoid hard, crunchy foods such as bread, peanuts, etc.
  • On the third day you can warm up the food more and normalize your diet according to your own tolerance

What can I do 3 days after my dental implant?

  • Apply warm compresses to the face to reduce swelling
  • Exercise in moderation

Tip: In cases where a surgical guide has been used to install the implants, the expected post-operative period is milder than in normal implant surgeries.

What can I do one week after my dental implant?

  • Brush the operated area lightly
  • Mouthwash with antiseptic solution
  • Physical activity released
  • Remove the stitches at the dentist

Are there implants without cutting or stitches/care of dental implants?

There are modern computer-guided planning techniques that minimize the need to cut into the gums and therefore often do not require stitches. This is computer-guided dental implant surgery, a very up-to-date and safe procedure for implant surgery.

implante dentario como e a cirurgia
Post-operativecare for implants, medication and procedures make a difference

Frequently asked questions about post-operative implants:

Is dental implant post-op swelling normal? What is the post-operative period of implants like?

Swelling can occur in the first few days after implants, which is why anti-inflammatory drugs are prescribed to be taken as soon as necessary. Cold food and ice help to reduce swelling in the mouth.

How long does it take to resume physical activity after a dental implant?

Each case is assessed individually, but in general you should wait 7 to 10 days before returning to the gym in full.

How many days to remove the dental implant stitches?

On average, you should remove the stitches from the implant surgery within 7 to 10 days.

Is it normal to feel pain after a dental implant or bone graft?

Pain can occur after the placement of a dental implant or bone graft. For this reason, painkillers are prescribed to be taken as soon as necessary. In general, the pain is mild and can be controlled with painkillers, but it is not normal to experience severe or unbearable pain.

What should I do if I feel throbbing pain after a dental implant?

Mild, bearable throbbing can occur after dental bone grafting and implants. However, if the discomfort is too great and does not stop with medication, the patient should contact their dentist as soon as possible.

Complete structure for your Day Clinic

Clinica Dentaria ImplArt has its own dental laboratory within the clinic, which certainly facilitates the rapid completion of work while maintaining high quality materials. The laboratory’s focus is above all on using high-tech materials such as zirconia and special porcelains by means of computerized Cad/Cam designs and 3D printing of teeth. Performing a dental treatment in one day is possible in some cases (subject to analysis).

Another facility is that radiological examinations can be carried out within the clinic, in our digital radiology center. Panoramic radiographs and CT scans with results in real time certainly help with a rapid diagnosis and, consequently, the course of action that should be adopted. Another novelty at the ImplArt Dental Clinic is sedation dentistry, where the patient remains relaxed throughout the procedure.

They are best suited to people who are afraid of going to the dentist, or of dental treatment or the famous “dentist’s machine”, the motor.

Dental contact lenses – Dental Porcelain Veneers

Dental contact lenses are a type of ultra-thin porcelain veneer (0.2 mm) used to correct certain aesthetic problems with the teeth.

Dental contact lenses to transform the appearance of your teeth

Aesthetic treatment for stained, misaligned, asymmetrical or broken teeth

Dental lenses work like “covers” that are glued onto one or more teeth to cover stains, small fractures and other defects, or to change the shape and size of teeth. Dental contact lens treatment is the smile of the famous.

Dental contact lenses are completely computer-designed and then made from dental porcelain using milling machines (3D printers). Dental porcelain is a vitreous ceramic material (lithium disilicate) that is very resistant and mimics the texture and shade of natural teeth.

It is also a safe material and therefore totally biocompatible with the human body. The computerized design is based on images taken by an intraoral scanner – a high-precision camera.

dental contact lenses
Dental contact lenses step by step (in case of dental asymmetry)

At the end of the milling process, the dental contact lenses have a shape, color and texture comparable to natural teeth, even imitating the characteristics of neighboring teeth. Because they are ultra-thin, installation requires little or no wear on the natural teeth.

The lenses are then bonded with dental cement activated with a light-curing device. ImplArt uses one of the best contact lens light-curing devices on the market, making treatment more efficient and safer. Find out more.

Indications for dental contact lenses:

  • Covering stains
  • Change in the shape of the teeth
  • Change in tooth color
  • Enlargement of small teeth
  • Aligning crowded teeth
  • Covering small fractures
  • Uniformization of uneven and asymmetrical teeth

Advantages of lenses:

  • High resistance and long durability of the dental contact lens
  • Very aesthetic look, comparable to natural teeth
  • Minimally invasive restorations
  • Completely painless procedure
  • They don’t require much tooth grinding to be installed
  • Preserves the structure of the teeth
  • No discomfort in chewing function
  • Porcelain doesn’t change color over the years
  • Incredibly natural and harmonious result
  • It can be designed and executed in a short time, in some cases even in a Day Clinic.

Before and after contact lenses: find out about some of the treatments performed at ImplArt:

At ImplArt Odontologia, all this work is certainly done in a precise and personalized way for each patient. This is only possible because we have CAD/CAM-based technologies on our premises, which not only carry out the computerized design of the treatment, but also the execution of the dental contact lenses.

It is considered dental art, since this specialty has the mission of creating prostheses that are increasingly similar to natural human teeth (in shape, color, translucency and texture). Dental prosthesis models range from the mobile type (dentures), protocol prosthesis, to dental crowns that are fixed to dental implants. Learn more

Endodontics

Endodontics is the area of dentistry responsible for treating diseases of the dental pulp, root canal system and periapical tissues. It carries out root canal treatment with the aim of maintaining the tooth and avoiding its extraction. Read more

Periodontics

Periodontics isresponsible for identifying and treating periodontal diseases, the most common of which are caries, gingivitis, plaque build-up, tartar formation and periodontitis (inflammation of the bone tissue that supports the tooth). This specialty also performs surgery to correct gummy smiles. Learn more

Dental Radiology

Dental radiology is of fundamental importance, especially for diagnosing functional problems and oral diseases using X-ray images. It also helps other specialties to plan dental implant surgery and monitor the progress of treatment or surgery that has already been carried out. These exams include panoramic radiography and computed tomography. Find out more.

Replacing teeth with periodontal disease with implants

When extractions are unavoidable due to periodontal disease, it is likely that teeth will need to be replaced with dental implants. However, dental implants can only be placed immediately after periodontitis has been treated. If the disease is not well controlled, the success of rehabilitation with dental implants will be compromised.

Periodontal disease (periodontitis) without proper treatment can lead to tooth loss. This is because the bacterial infection gradually destroys the structures that support the teeth. As a result, the teeth soften and, depending on the case, are unable to be maintained.

This is what is known as peri-implantitis, i.e. infection around the implants. Peri-implantitis hinders osseointegration (a phenomenon necessary for implant fixation) and can lead to implant loss.

Control of periodontitis

Immediately after tooth extractions, the surgeon assesses whether the bone and gum structures are compromised through clinical and radiographic examinations. He may perform minor surgery to clean the area and administer antibiotics to control the infection. The patient is instructed to maintain proper oral hygiene. In the meantime, the patient can wear a temporary prosthesis. The recovery time for periodontitis is not established, as it depends on each case.

Replacing teeth with dental implants

If the bone loss after periodontitis is reasonable, dental implants can even be immediately loaded (in selected cases). If bone loss is severe, it may be necessary to perform a bone graft to rebuild the structure before placing the implants.

Unfortunately, this process is not so quick, as it is primarily necessary to wait for complete healing (from 3 to 6 months on average). After dental implants have been placed, clinical follow-up is particularly important in these cases, in order to prevent periodontitis from returning.

Dental visits should be more frequent for patients with a history of periodontal disease than in cases where tooth loss has occurred for other reasons. The surgeon may order additional imaging tests to monitor the osseointegration of the implant. Care should be taken with oral hygiene at home.

This treatment, when carried out by a specialized team and together with the patient’s valuable collaboration in terms of oral hygiene, correct use of medication, regular visits to the clinic and the patience to wait for the results, has a high chance of success.

The ImplArt Dental Clinic specializes in replacing teeth with implants after periodontal disease. Its team is made up of serious periodontists and implant dentists, trained at the country’s leading universities.

Fast dental implants treatment with Slactive implant + pure zirconia or pure porcelain prosthesis

Is it possible to carry out my dental implant treatment quickly and have the permanent prosthesis fitted straight away? This is a very common question and we understand this demand of fast dental implants. Nowadays, time is increasingly valuable and scarce, which leads to a need to complete dental treatment quickly.

First of all, it’s important to note that technology and modern techniques allow us to offer treatment with fast-healing implants, as well as completely computerized crowns and prostheses. We are talking specifically about the modern Straumann Slactive implant combined with Emax pure porcelain or Pure Zirconia prostheses .

So let’s take a closer look below and find out more about these modern dental implants. Fortunately, there are now several types of quality dental implant to choose from. All to make your implant treatment faster and more comfortable. If you’re short of time, try using rapid implants and the computerized prosthesis preparation system. With them, treatment is faster and more agile because it requires fewer treatment steps. In addition, treatment becomes more predictable and offers better technical and aesthetic results.

Fast healing dental implants: is there such a thing?

In recent years there has been a significant advance in dental implant technology. This is an expected movement, since each person has a specific demand, and implantologists and implant manufacturers need to respond to these demands. The demand for fast dental implant treatment is constant, precisely because of today’s lifestyle.

That’s why today we have implants available that cater, for example, for cases of low bone volume with short implants. Or those with high aesthetic needs(white ceramic dental implants). Or even those with a high need for bone and gum preservation(bone level implants).

Metal-free ceramic rapid dental implant

What’s more, for those patients who want metal-free dental implant treatment, we have a combination of ceramic implants and modern zirconia implant crowns. This ceramic implant not only has the benefit of no metal, but also offers rapid healing. In the case of this implant, osseointegration is expected to take 2 months. There are currently two types of ceramic implant, the first is Straumann’s Pure Ceramic implant, and the second is Neodent’s Zi white ceramic implant.

But another major demand from people is undoubtedly to speed up their oral rehabilitation by reducing the time it takes to install implants and a permanent fixed prosthesis. Pure zirconia crowns help to reduce the total treatment time.

implante slactive straumann, fast dental implants

After much research, Straumann has developed an implant surface technology called Slactive. It favors and accelerates osseintegration (a term that defines the healing and fixation of implants in the bone). In some cases, the healing period can be reduced from 6 to 1 month.

Recent studies show an excellent clinical performance of SLActive implants, both in single tooth implant treatments and in total implant treatments, and even in those using bone grafting. This is an option chosen by those patients who want a fast dental implant treatment, and are keen to use the latest technology for their implant treatment.

The definitive prosthesis is fixed in a short time after the placement of rapid implants. In some cases, implants can be immediately loaded

Oral rehabilitation with implants usually follows a timetable which, in short, is as follows step by step:

1 – Planning for dental implant surgery, with panoramic radiography and computed tomography. In many cases, an intraoral scan (digital reading) is already carried out to generate the first 3D-printed provisional prosthesis .

2 – Implant surgery. Implant surgery can be performed using the conventional technique, or through guided surgery, using the Surgical Guide, when the implant insertion sites are planned in advance. This way, once the implants have been inserted, there is no need for stitches. It is also called surgery without cuts.

3 – Installation of a temporary prosthesis, in the case of total implants or front tooth implants, which allows the patient to wait until the implants have completely healed. Dental implant healing can vary from 1 month to 4 months, depending on the type of implant chosen. It’s important to bear in mind that the chance of a successful dental implant is quite high, but it can be compromised if the patient is a smoker and doesn’t have good hygiene habits.

What happens when the implants have healed?

3 – Once the implants have healed, the process of making the final prosthesis begins, which can start with the stage of reopening thedental implants. If the type of prosthesis chosen is Emax Pure Porcelain or Pure Zirconia, the method for making the final prosthesis will be completely computerized.

4 – Installation of the final prosthesis. After this phase, which may involve making prototypes to study the color and shape of the new smile, the final prosthesis is installed on the chosen type of denture.

The use of Straumann Slactive implants means that, in some cases, the period of use of the provisional prosthesis can be reduced or even eliminated. Studies carried out by Straumann have already shown that the survival rate of the Slactive implant using the immediate loading technique after 10 years is 98.2%. This is the fastest dental implant available for those who want to speed up treatment.

What is Slactive surface technology for rapid dental implant treatment?

It is based on a sandblasting technique with large granules, which generates macro roughness on the titanium surface, followed by acid etching, which overlays the micro roughness. The resulting surface provides an ideal structure for the adhesion of bone-forming cells, which are necessary for osseointegration (integration between bone and implant). This amazing technology allows Straumann Slactive implants to be the fastest healing implants on the market.

Pure zirconia or pure porcelain prosthesis for rapid implants: the gold standard in complete oral rehabilitation

Many people have the perception that a porcelain or zirconia prosthesis is a heavy piece and therefore not suitable for quick installation because it would hinder the healing of implants. But contrary to what it might seem, porcelain prostheses are much lighter than you might think. In addition to being the most modern and resistant options for the patient, they are also aesthetically superior.

By way of comparison, a full porcelain prosthesis weighs around 30g, while a tube weighs 25g. In addition, each dental implant supports a weight of 100kg, meaning that the weight of the prosthesis does not interfere with the implant.

The possibility of having a permanent porcelain prosthesis fixed on dental implants is a great relief for people who are determined to change their smile quickly. And no wonder. Pure porcelain or pure zirconia are undoubtedly the most advanced materials available for the manufacture of dental prostheses.

Firstly, Pure Zirconia and Pure Porcelain are the materials that most closely resemble natural teeth, both in strength and appearance. Secondly, because these materials have been designed for fabrication in computerized systems (CAD/CAM), which greatly speeds up the entire programming of rapid dental implant treatment.

Can anyone have rapid treatment with Slactive implants and porcelain prostheses?

As we have seen, advanced technology means that many more people have an indication for rapid dental implant treatment. However, each case needs to be assessed individually in consultation. Undeniably, oral health and health in general need to be well assessed before anything else.

In addition, certain habits that may prevent successful rehabilitation, such as smoking and bruxism, need to be considered.
