What are implants?

Shortly speaking we can say that they are artificial roots, based on which teeth crowns are rebuilt. Implants are a special prosthetic supplement due to few reasons:

One should not be afraid of implants – placing them in is not more troublesome than tooth extraction. During the first stage the doctor inserts the implant to the bone, sutures the site of procedure and waits several months until the implant „grows into” the tooth. When it happens it is possible to rebuilt the prosthetic crown or place the prosthesis. There are a lot of indications to use the implants: from missing of single tooth up to total lack of teeth. The treatment schedule depends on patient’s own needs, doctor’s decision and financial abilities. Often patients who decide to undergo the implant therapy find out in the doctor’s office that it is not possible due to small amount of bone tissue or other unfavorable local conditions. In our clinic we deal with such situations through the use of special procedures which stimulate the bone growth.

Tooth implant is actually an additional tooth root made of pure Titanium, placed in the bone tissue. The period of implant healing is 3 months. After this time it is possible to rebuilt the tooth crown. In order to insert the implant the doctor needs a specific amount of bony tissue. Right now we have access to some surgery methods and preparations, which allow the reconstruction of missing bone. The bone reconstruction procedures and sinus plasty (elevation of sinus) are a part of everyday practice in our Clinic.

Implantation

Often before the procedure of implant insertion it shows up that a particular site does not have a sufficient amount of bone in order to strongly anchor the implant. In such case we need to introduce special procedures aimed on increase of bone volume. Bone reconstruction with the use of Cerasorb can be performed with implant insertion at the same time. However, very often it is necessary to rebuilt the bone of dental process, and then, having the sufficient amount of bony tissue, the implant is inserted.

Tooth extraction (tooth removal)

In order not to allow the natural atrophy of bone tissue after tooth extraction, the tooth socket has to be filled up with Cerasorb immediately after extraction. This way we provide the necessary amount of bone tissue, necessary for possible future implantation. If the tooth socket is not filled up after the extraction, after 2-3 years from tooth removal the bone atrophy reaches up to 40-60%.

Resection of dental root apex

In case of inflammatory process around the tooth root apex, very often it is necessary to perform the resection. It is a surgical procedure which consists of removal of root’s apex and the surrounding tissues. As a result of this procedure there is a bone lesion which can be successfully filled up with Cerasorb.

Periodontology procedures

They deal with bone atrophy caused by inflammation processes due to bacterial plaques on teeth surface. The existing bone pockets are filled up with Cerasorb. Sometimes there is a necessity of additional use of membrane.

Cysts

Another field of use of Cerasorb is the fullfillment of bone lesions cause by cysts. Also in this case Cerasorb allows complete fulfillment of lesion and creation of new bone.

Conservative dentistry, prophylaxis of adults and children

• light-hardening filling
• root canal therapy (endodontic)
• varnishing with the use of fluorine varnish
• teeth hipersensitivity treatment
• teeth sealing

Prosthetics

There are a lot of different causes of teeth loss: teeth extractions, injuries, car accidents, congenital failures of teeth. They all cause difficulties with food digestion. There are also problems of esthetic nature. Remember that prosthetic treatment brings back the correct functioning of chewing organ as well as wide, unhampered smile of the Patient.

Types of prostheses:

• prosthesis over the implants – excellent prosthetic solution in case of partial (one up to few) as well as total lack of teeth – crowns and bridges and movable prostheses supported on implants
• ceramic crowns and bridges (CERCON) - very esthetic and highly durable
• crowns and bridges on golden or metal base
• classic skeletal prosthesis or with precise retention elements (clasps, bolts)
• elastic prosthesis (Valplast), acrylic, partial and total

Dental surgery

In our practice we perform a lot of implantology, microsurgery and surgery procedures, such as:

• Implant insertion
• elevation of maxillar sinus bottom
• root resection
• removal of unerupted teeth
• removal of wisdom teeth (third molar)
• removal of cysts
• surgical treatment of parodontosis

Paradontosis treatment

As a result of chronic gum inflammation (parodontitis) you have undergone bone atrophy and developed a bone pocket. There is a serious danger, that your tooth will soon loose its natural nest in the bone. However, “fastening” of that tooth can be kept.

After removal of inflammatory changed tissue and cleaning of the tooth the doctor can fill the lesion up with the preparation that stimulates the bone growth, what provides your bone the optimal growth conditions. Within several months you will develop some new bony tissue in that site.
