Causes and consequences of absence of molars

According to the statistics, it is molars and premolars that most patients lose most often. The reasons for this are a huge number:

• smoking and drinking;
• non-compliance with oral hygiene;
• consumes hot or acidic foods that gradually destroy enamel;
• caries development;
• inflammation of the gums;
• cystic formations on the dental roots.

At the initial stage of carious lesion, the upper layer - enamel - is destroyed. As it progresses, it penetrates deeper and causes various diseases such as pulpitis or periodonitis. If you do not put a seal on the sick tooth in time, it will lead to its complete destruction and will require the removal of the root.

Many people face the problem of periodontitis( bleeding and inflammation of the gums).At the same time, the molar itself and its root are bare, and eventually it falls out. Therefore, it is very important to prevent these diseases. Some patients are diagnosed with cysts on the root system and this tooth is 100% removed.

After the loss or removal of the tooth, the patient must undergo a prosthetic procedure. In the absence of chewing molars and premolars, it must be done without fail, so that a person can normally chew food and not harm the digestive organs when swallowing large pieces.

Methods for restoration of molars

When installing implants on molars and premolars, these types of techniques are used:

1. Removable prosthesis .In this case, the prosthesis is made of soft materials and fastened to a healthy molar and gum.
2. Classical implantation of .Can pass in several stages, this technique is considered the best at the moment, during the procedure, healthy molars are not involved.

Advantages of implantation

This method has a number of advantages over other dental operations:

1. Thanks to implantation, the patient can fully perform chewing movements, as the process of restoring not only the tooth but also its root system takes place.
2. Absence of atrophy of bone tissues, the patient retains a correct bite, there is no violation of natural metabolic processes.
3. Ease of operation. The patient does not need to perform any special manipulations, it will be enough just to clean the prosthesis as well as the rest of the teeth. He is no different from the others, so the patient will not feel any difference.
4. Operating time. The established chewing implant with proper care can last up to 10-15 years.
5. No damage to adjacent healthy teeth, unlike removable dentures.

Features of implantation

The location of the molar is important in the implantation procedure. There are some differences in the implantation of upper and lower teeth. One can also single out one-stage and two-stage implantation of chewing teeth.

Top row of

In this case, due to the close arrangement to the maxillary sinuses, the patient undergoes osteoplastic surgery. In this case, the doctor slightly lifts the lower part of the sinus and fills the resulting space with a special material that is similar to the human.

This procedure is called sinus-lifting, it should be performed only by an experienced specialist, so that unnecessary complications do not occur.

Lower row

Installation occurs, as well as for upper molars. In this case, the procedure differs only in the duration of engraftment of the structure.

On the bottom row, it is faster than on the top row. On average, this period is about 90 days( for the upper it is 6 months).The procedure of implantation of the lower molars and premolars is called bone plastic.

Single-stage

In the case of a single-step procedure, the patient undergoes a thorough examination at the dentist, makes the necessary X-ray images to establish the condition of the roots and stern tissue.

After that the doctor selects the necessary material for the implant, determines the procedure for the procedure. Further cleaning of the oral cavity, its sanitation and direct installation are carried out.

Two-stage

If several steps are required for implantation, then everything happens as follows:

1. Removal of the damaged tooth and root system.
2. A doctor's study of the state of bone tissue. In the case of a molar drop, it is best to contact a specialist immediately, since tightening the process can lead to the onset of atrophy processes. This greatly complicates the implantation process and the patient can be assigned a procedure for its extension. This requires additional financial costs.
3. Next, a pointed implant is introduced into the bone tissue. The process of regeneration and engraftment begins( from 3 to 6 months depending on the patient's health and molar location).
4. Installation of the prosthesis.

In some cases, a temporary prosthesis can be placed on the patient for the time of engraftment. The doctor decides on the expediency of this process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Internet users often ask questions about implantation. We tried to collect and answer the most exciting questions of our readers.

Do implants have implants for chewing teeth?

We have already answered this question in our article, but also want to add a couple of clarifying points.

Yes, implantation is mandatory. However, this procedure is slightly different from implantation of other types of teeth. The implant installation process takes place in several stages.

First of all, the implant itself is implanted in the patient's bone, then it takes about six months for it to settle down and healing of the gums occurred. Only in the case of normal engraftment is a special crown. Such a design will serve a very long time.

What implants are put on chewing teeth?

For each patient the doctor selects an individual implant, there are no two identical. For chewing molars, it is strictly forbidden to use short and thin structures, they simply will not withstand the load. The size of the doctor selects individually depending on the width of the interdental space.

As a rule, in the case of the lower and upper jaw, classical implantation is used in two stages. This will help reduce the risk of possible rejection and conducting a repeat procedure. Today there are a huge number of manufacturers of these systems, they differ in material and in their value.

Consider the most popular forms of chewing implants:

• plate type are used when there is a shortage of bone tissue in the patient;
• root type, I have the shape of a cone with a chiseled end;
• combined.

The most effective and robust types are:

1. Endoossal .It is installed inside the bone.
2. Subperiostal .It is used for thin alveolar bone.
3. Intralucid .It is not implanted in the bone, but is part of a removable prosthesis.
4. Endodontic stabilized .Used to extend the molar root system.

Among the most popular manufacturers are Nobel Biocare, Straumann and Astra Tech. These systems are very expensive, but they also last longer than others. More affordable systems are considered the companies MIS( Medical Implant System), Alpha-Bio and Dentium.

In order to properly choose the designs you need to consult a doctor. The main criteria for implants for chewing molars are: length, material of manufacture, the surface of the prosthesis( in the case of a small roughness, the engrafting process is accelerated), the types of cutting, the place of connection of the crown to the implant itself must be very strong, the duration of operation, the availability of documents for the design.

What is better than a bridge or an implant?

Many patients are facing a choice: a bridge or chewing implants? Naturally, the best option will be implantation, but this procedure is quite expensive.

Therefore, many prefer to put the design in the form of a bridge, which relies directly on healthy teeth. However, the disadvantage of this method is the gradual destruction of healthy teeth due to a heavy load on them.

What brand of implants is better to put?

The implants of Nobel Biocare, Straumann and Astra Tech are considered the best among the patients and doctors. They are made of high-quality materials, less torn away( which can not be said about cheaper options).In any case, the choice of the material and design for implantation is best done with the help of an experienced specialist.

Opinions of patients

In most cases, patients respond positively to the implantation of chewing teeth. Negative feedback is present in case of using poor-quality materials or performing the procedure by an inexperienced specialist.

The cost of

The price range is quite large and depends on the material used. On average, the procedure will cost the patient 30,000-15,000 thousand rubles for one. This includes the procedure for installing the implant, temporary prosthesis, and then permanent. In the case of a shortage of bone tissue or other additional procedures( pictures, treatment of gums, etc.), the price increases.

Today the procedure of implantation of teeth becomes more and more popular. Human molars are most often affected by caries, and they have to be removed. For installation, high-quality biomaterials are used, the process of rejection is small.

It should be remembered that this procedure is performed in the absence of contraindications. The choice of implant and its size will help a dentist. Thanks to a wide range of teeth implantation is available to almost everyone.
