The implant can be left in for cleaning; not only will this make it easier for you, but it will protect the threads on the titanium rods and implanted teeth. Use a low-abrasive toothpaste or gel, so that if there are any pieces of the titanium that are exposed, they won’t be damaged. Highly abrasive cleaners may scratch the surface or exposed threads,which will keep the permanent teeth from fitting properly. Toothpaste shouldn’t include baking soda, sodium or stannous fluoride, or stain removers. This includes toothpaste made for smokers. High fluoride concentrations can not only remove the oxide layer on the implants, removing the anti-corrosive surface. Some fluorides, like stannous fluoride, can be rough on the implants, and might scratch the surface. As with natural teeth, patients with implants should use soft-headed toothbrushes; manual, electric, or sonic brushes are all acceptable options. Flossing should be done with unwaxed or implant floss to get the maximum cleaning while minimizing tissue damage. You might also consider an antimicrobial rinse. Some people have found that water-spraying brushes, water flossers, or oral irrigators have helped to facilitate a thorough
I also maintain existing implants and evaluate for implant health. We do not recommend implants as an option for tooth replacement for patients with severe periodontal issues because the failure rate is high. I do talk to my patients about the benefits of having implant and also

Replacing missing teeth using dental implants has proven to be a successful and predictable treatment procedure.(Ardekian & Dodson 2003)(Schropp & Isidor 2008)(Froum 2010)(Ortegamartínez et al. 2012) The rapid progress of implant dentistry allowed the creation of different implant placement and loading techniques.(Froum 2010)(Ortega-martínez et al. 2012) It started with the traditional implant placement protocol that dictated several month period between extraction and implantation then another 3-6 months for loading. A "6-12" month treatment timeline was a major drawback that made patients refuse to wait all this time.(Schropp & Isidor 2008)
General Purpose - To inform Your Topic: Dental Specific Purpose: At the end my speech, I want my audience to understand that never to underestimate the power of teeth has on one’s life and what can be done to avoid horrific consequences.

The average dental implant procedure takes 3 - 4 visits. The first visit is to x-ray the area and take an impression for a surgical guide and a temporary prosthesis to cover the implant. The next visit is to place the implant. A local anesthesia is applied to the area (any additional sedation is no longer necessary unless deemed by the dentist).
Dental Debridement is a method of removing solid or intense deposits (plaque and calculus) from the tooth. This process is considered as a preliminary treatment. This process removes extensive plaque and tartar buildup which often form due to irregular teeth cleaning habits and skipping yearly checkups. Due to the thick deposits, diagnosing gum diseases, tooth decay or infections become quite difficult for dentists.

Here are four tips for caring for your newly crowned tooth: 1. Floss Often and Properly You should maintain regular oral hygiene with all teeth, including the crowned tooth. This means you need to floss it regularly. However, the flossing technique you use for the crowned tooth might need to change. Ideally, you should use traditional wax floss.
Here are 3 reasons why these complications can happen. Infection It is possible to get an infection while the implant is being installed. The infection will cause the bond that forms between the implant and your jawbone to eventually disintegrate, requiring the implant’s removal. The best way to avoid an infection from happening
On the other hand, Ramsey A. Amin argues that dental implants is not the best restorative material for missing teeth. Ramsey Amin,D.D.S writes, “Some slight bone loss over many years is normal. If you lose too much bone, you may have to replace the whole implant. The original surgery and original fabrication design of the teeth are a huge factor in the long-term health of your dental implants” (Disadvantages of Dental Implants:The Cons par.11). Ramsey is trying to explain that dental implants can overtime lose their shine and go to waste.
Flossing helps prevent gum (also known as periodontal) disease and gingivitis (an early stage of periodontal disease) by reducing the buildup of plaque between your teeth and removing food particles. This prevents the growth of bacterial colonies by getting rid of the particles before they have a chance to become lodged around your teeth and in your gums. Most people achieve this by flossing using regular dental floss, which is a thin thread that goes in between your teeth; however, this is often painful as well as partially ineffective, as it doesn’t manage to catch every last bit of plaque or every food particle. It can also result in sensitive or bleeding gums. The solution is to invest in a water flosser - which
BiodentineTM has easy handling, excellent anatomic form, very good marginal adaption and establishes a very good inter-proximal contact, used as a permanent dentine substitute. Resin composite cannot be placed over biodentin as Grech et al advice postponing acid etching of biodentin 24 hrsupto 1 week alter setting in order not to effect the compressive strength of -biodentin(11,14).However, placing a Glass ionomer cement material over biodentin as a part of permanent or provisional should be considered . it has been claimed that conventional GIass ionomer can be layered over set biodentin after 12mins,which enables single visit procedures(15).Measuring the bond strength of conventional Glass ionomer to partially set has not been reported and might to support its usage in one-visit pulp therapy.

2010) in this study, sixty-nine fixed partial dentures, one hundred and forty-two abutment teeth none of them received regular maintenance neither in the university nor in any other institutions. The survival rate of these fixed partial dentures were recorded to be 74% in 15 years, they have concluded their study in that periodontal problem is a major consequence of irregular dental maintenance. It might be more valuable if they had similar numbers of fixed partial dentures under regular maintenance to be able to compare the survival results of both of them, although it is possibly very difficult to obtain an ethical approval to do
Recently the demand of complete dentures has increased as the number of elderly increased, yet even though the restoration of function is their aim, they have become aware of the importance of selection of proper anterior teeth to restore aesthetics and phonetics. These demands are to be fulfilled through prosthetic dentistry. Prosthetic Dentistry is a branch of dental science which deals with the replacement of missing teeth and associated structures to restore mainly function and aesthetics. Prosthetic dentistry is further divided into Fixed Prosthodontics - which the restorations are immovable, fixed and cemented, they can’t be removed except by the dentist such as crown and bridge- and Removable Prosthodontics –which the restorations are easily removed and inserted back into the mouth by the patient on his own such as complete and partial dentures- they both serve the aim of prosthetic dentistry. Prosthetic Dentistry interferes in the edentulous condition and partially edentulous condition.
INTRODUCTION Microleakage has been a key issue in the field of operative dentistry1, but it is not long since it has drawn the attention of orthodontists. From the orthodontic point of view, microleakage is an important factor in the development of two iatrogenic lesions particularly at the adhesive - enamel interface: white spot lesions and decalcification. The presence of fixed orthodontic appliances impedes oral hygiene and facilitates plaque accumulation. This in turn increases the bacterial counts in the plaque around the attachments and the production of organic acids2. In the presence of a low pH in the oral environment, the calcium and phosphate ions diffuse out of enamel resulting in demineralization and white spot lesions3.
