What should you do for implant hygiene 2 weeks after placement?
We don't want the patient brushing the area aggressively; instead use a chlorhexidine rinse for 2 weeks after placement.
T/F
After the implants have been placed, the implant-supported restoration and surrounding soft tissue should be evaluated at each maintenance appointment.
True
What should you evaluate regarding the implant at each maintenance appointment?
1. Quality of the peri-implant tissue
2. Presence of plaque and calculus (implants attract plaque and calculus just like teeth)
3. Radiographic appearance of the implant and peri-implant structures. (we should be taking an x-ray every year; in the first year you can expect about 1.5 mm of bone loss {due to surgical placement of the implant} every year after that you can expect about 0.2 mm of bone loss)
4. Presence of support at the abutments
5. Mobility of the abutment or restoration
6. Patient comfort and function
What can calculus build-ups on implants lead to?
Calculus build-ups can cause areas of soft tissue inflammation. This may result in progressive bone loss if left untreated.
What three things should you check for when evaluating soft tissue surrounding implants?
1. Color
2. Texture
3. Firmness
Healthy implant tissue should minic healthy tissue around a natural tooth.
Bad signs include Inflammation and Supparation
What do you evaluate for radiographically regarding implants?
1. Bone Level
2. Bone Adaptation
3. Thread exposure
4. Pathosis (see RL around the implant apex)
Why should you not probe around an implant?
It can disturb the hemidesmosomal attachment. If you are going to probe, use a plastic probe.
What kind of plastic probe Maintains consistency of probing force between clinicians and from examination to examination?
PDT Sensor Probe
What are 3 different kinds of implants?
o subperiosteal
 implant which is positioned ON bone (most often mandible) and lies beneath the periosteum
• required two surgeries, performed under general anesthesia requiring hospitalization
o transosseous
 a mandibular implant which extends through the bone and engages both the inferior and superior bone surface
o endosseous
 implant which is placed within bone
 today we use root-form (vs. blade) developed by…
• Dr. Branemark
o Swedish physician who was researching the wound healing process and discovered “osseointegration”

What are the 3 requirements to obtain osseointegration?
 precise, meticulous preparation of site to prevent the bone temperature from rising above 47 degrees (will lead to necrosis)

o contact other osteocytes w/ cytoplasmic processes
What are osteoclasts
o large multinucleated cells that fxn in the breakdown and resorption of osseous tissue
What types of bone are best used for dental implants?

Greater risk in type III and IV bone
T/F
Blood dyscrasias, hyperthyroidism, renal disease, liver disease, varying heart disease, hepatitis, pregnancy and smoking are all absolute contraindications to implant placement.
False
These are all contraindications but NOT Absolute
T/F
Positioning of implant is based on biologic determinants of the planned prosthetic design
True
We now modify the bone to our prosthetic needs
What do we evaluate on the treatment arch?

evaluate - Height, Width, arch relationships, occlusal plane, existing dentition, fixture positions, esthetic plans
What do we evaluate on the opposing arch?
Occlusal plane, type of dentition, arch relationship, type of restoration material to be used
What is the minimum height above the platform of abutment for adequate retention (intra-arch distance)?
5mm above the platform of abutment
What is an External Force applied to a Prosthesis, implant, abutment, tooth?
Load
Functional load is generated across prosthodontic interfaces (bone-implant; abutment-implant; fixation screw-abutment; crown-abutment)
What are occlusal factors that we want to account for?
1. Teeth only come into contact during swallowing and during parafunctional movement
2. Posterior teeth should disclude during working, non-working and protrusive movements
