Introducing the structure of an Implant with 3 important parts

1. Implant structure: Implant head (Implant Fixture)

Implant head is an important part of the dental implant structure, acting as an artificial tooth root. The post is implanted directly into the jawbone, with the function of supporting the abutment and the porcelain crown above, helping to create a complete tooth. 

Implants are inserted directly into the jawbone, replacing lost tooth roots

Implants perform the following specific roles:

• Create a solid foundation:In implant tooth structure, tImplants take on the role of firmly attaching to the jawbone, forming a solid bond similar to real tooth roots, helping to ensure long-term stability when chewing.
• Dispersing chewing force:The chewing force from the porcelain crown will be transmitted through the restoration and implant post, then evenly distributed to the jawbone, helping to protect adjacent teeth from trauma or tilting while chewing.
• Prevent bone loss:When teeth are lost for a long time without being replaced, the jawbone can disappear. Implants help maintain jaw bone structure, preventing bone loss and future problems.

The implant head has an elongated cylindrical shape, the surface has threaded rings and is processed with advanced technology, creating characteristics similar to the microsurgical structure of human bone, thereby increasing the ability to adhere tightly to the jawbone, creating a solid connection. The main material of the implant is usually Titanium - a light metal, highly biocompatible, and integrates well with the jaw bone without causing irritation.

Implants simulate the structure of real human teeth, preventing jaw bone loss when teeth are lost

Current generations of implants are constantly improving in terms of design, materials and surface treatment technology. Below is a comparison table between generations of implants to help you have more detailed information:

Note:Costs may vary depending on the policy of each dentist.

Thus, each type of implant has its own characteristics, suitable for each person's dental and financial situation. You should refer totypes of Implantssuitable for your dental condition to make the most accurate choice.

In addition, when choosing Implants, you also need to pay attention to the following important factors:

• • Brand and clear origin:Prioritize choosing Implants from reputable brands, officially imported, with full inspection documents from the FDA and Ministry of Health. to ensure quality and safety.
  • Benign material:Titanium is a recommended material due to its good biointegration ability, does not cause irritation when implanted into the jaw bone and minimizes the risk of complications.

• Dimensions and design of the post: 

• • • Diameter of Implant:In case of thin jaw bone, you can choose a post with a small diameter, suitable for the position of the front teeth. Large diameter posts will help withstand better force, suitable for molars and positions subject to strong chewing forces.
    • Implant length:For bone areas with limited height (such as the upper jaw near the sinuses), short implant posts or bone grafting methods can be considered to increase thickness.

• Design:Spiral design helps the post adhere more firmly to the bone and increase the contact area. In particular, the posts in the dental implant structure have a thick and deep thread design that will help increase stability, especially in cases of low bone density.

• Advanced surface treatment technology:Implant surface treatment technology plays an important role in enhancing integration with the jawbone, shortening healing time and ensuring long-term stability. Currently, treatment technologies such as SLA and SLActive provide outstanding bone integration efficiency.

Implants play an essential role in the structure of artificial teeth, but are not the only factor that determines the durability of dental implants. Technical factors and other parts of the implant structure such as porcelain crowns, restorations and healing posts also need to be focused on to ensure long-term results.

2. Implant structure: Abutment Implant

Restorative abutment (Abutment Implant) In the tooth structure, the implant acts as a joint, one part lies in the gums and one part protrudes from the gums, which is the place to attach the porcelain crown above. 

The prosthetic post helps distribute chewing force evenly down the jawbone, creating natural gum bulge and establishing a protective barrier to prevent bacteria from the oral environment from penetrating the Implant below. 

The prosthetic abutment is the connection between the implant base and the porcelain crown, which plays a role in creating natural gum bulge and regenerating the biological protective barrier to prevent bacteria.

Currently, there are two main types of restorations:

• Customized Abutment: This type of post is crafted according to each person's anatomical structure, has the ability to integrate the jaw bone and fit closely to the gums, helping to speed up the recovery process. The personalized abutment consists of two parts:the gingival part(located under the gums) to help form and regenerate the gums, andthe tooth pulp part(protruding from the gums) to attach the porcelain crown on top. Personalized abutments are especially useful in creating a biological barrier around the tooth root, helping to perfectly recreate periodontal tissue organization like real teeth.
• Stock Abutment: This is a popular type of abutment and is available on the market. This abutment is designed according to standard parameters, usually in two basic forms:screw (screw abutment)andcemented abutment (dual abutment). However, due to the fixed size, the prosthetic abutment in the Implant structure may not completely match the restoration space of each person, affecting the aesthetics and risk of food retention. In the long term, it can lead to exposed implant necks, infections, cavities of adjacent teeth...

Personalized prosthetic abutments are designed according to individual sizes to suit each person's anatomical structure

To distinguish the uses of each specific type of prosthetic abutment, please refer to Refer to the content in the following table:

A good restoration post needs to ensure many factors such as the ability to create an effective biological barrier, reestablish periodontal tissue organization like real teeth and at the same time must be strong and durable enough to withstand long-term chewing forces. Once you know what a dental implant is then choosing the right type of abutment is extremely important.

Personalized restoration abutments have a superior fit to the gums, preventing food retention problems that cause bacteria and plaque accumulation

It can be seen that personalized restoration abutments made of multi-layer Zirconia are the top choice today. The abutment has the ability to recreate the anatomical shape of the gum tissue around the tooth, creating natural bulge and not causing a black glow through the gum tissue, effectively overcoming the inherent limitations of previous restoration abutments.

3. Implant structure: Porcelain crown

The porcelain crown in the Implant structure is the outer covering of the restoration, helping to simulate the shape, color and function of real teeth. With the ability to recreate natural tooth enamel, porcelain crowns have transparency and light refraction almost similar to real teeth, providing optimal aesthetic results. The lifespan of a porcelain crown will depend on the material and maintenance, usually lasting from 5 years to 30 years.

Ceramic dental implant crowns are made to cover the outside of the restoration, simulating the shape, color and function of real teeth.

Currently, there are 3 popular types of ceramic crowns: Titanium ceramic teeth, all-ceramic teeth with Zirconia core and Full Zirconia Multilayer all-ceramic teeth, specifically distinguished as follows:

At Lac Viet Intech Dental Clinic, 3D Pro Multilayer porcelain crowns come with Implant and restoration posts, at no additional cost

A good porcelain crown must ensure both aesthetic and functional criteria. Aesthetically, dental crowns need to have the same color, translucency and ability to refract light as real teeth, helping to create the most natural feeling. In terms of function, dental crowns in dental implant structures need to have high hardness, abrasion resistance and elasticity to ensure durability and withstand chewing forces for a long time. 

A good porcelain crown must meet high standards of white aesthetics, as well as restore the chewing ability like real teeth

It can be seen that Full Zirconia Multilayer all-ceramic crowns are the top choice, meeting both aesthetics and function with the highest durability, without causing black light, bringing long-term effectiveness to the user.

Lac Viet Intech Dental provides 3D Pro Multilayer porcelain teeth with 100% Zirconia material, fully meets the criteria for white aesthetics, has the same translucency as real teeth, does not cause black light through the tooth crown, and ensures to withstand long-term chewing and biting forces, without causing damage to the opposing teeth.

4. Implant structure: Healing Abutment

Healing Abutment (also known as Healing Abutment) is a structure that helps shape gum tissue to restore the shape of the gums after the Implant process. Healing posts (Healing in Implant) are attached immediately after implant placement or in the second stage, which is about 2 - 4 months after the implant has firmly integrated into the jawbone.

Healing posts are placed after implant placement, creating conditions for the gums to heal

Although not part of the complete dental implant structure, healing posts still play an important role in shaping the gums and creating space for the attachment process. Porcelain crowns later. There are two popular types of healing posts on the market today, including:

Personalized healing posts help gum tissue recover faster, create natural gum bulge, and support the process of installing porcelain crowns later

To ensure the recovery process goes smoothly, you should prioritize using personalized healing posts. This healing abutment line has the ability to naturally re-shape the gums, increase adhesion between the gums and the Implant abutment, and provide good support for the final installation of porcelain crowns. 

Specifically, you can see the visual image between 2 types of healing abutments in the following short video:

In addition, you can refer to implant placement simulationto better understand the process and choose the most suitable method for yourself.

In short,Implant structureincludes 3 main parts: Implant post, prosthetic post and porcelain crown, in addition to a healing post that helps accelerate the recovery process of gum tissue. To ensure optimal effectiveness in aesthetics and chewing function, you should prioritize Implant lines that use personalized parts that can integrate well into each person's jaw bone structure and prevent unwanted complications.
