Placement Of Dental Implants Results In Minimal Bone Loss

Dental implants are frequently used as a replacement for missing teeth in order to restore the patient's tooth function and appearance. Previous research demonstrates that the placement of a dental implant disrupts the host tissue in the area of the implant, so practitioners often focus their treatment planning to carefully maintain the patient's bone and gum tissue surrounding the implant. A recent study published in the Journal of Periodontology found that the majority of bone remodeling occurred in the time between the implant placement and final prosthesis placement.

Subsequently, little mean bone change was observed in the five years following the implant placement, independent of type of restoration or implant length.However, the results of this study help further indicate that a dental implant is an effective and dependable tooth replacement option.

Perio Disease Mechanism in Smokers unveiled
University of Louisville researcher, Dr David Scott said: "It has long been known that smokers are more susceptible to periodontitis than are non-smokers. However, the reasons why are not so clear. Our study shows, for the first time, that components in cigarette smoke alter key characteristics of a major bacterial pathogen which, subsequently, changes how our immune system reacts to it. It may turn out that we need to develop alternate treatment plans for smokers and non-smokers". Full Report

However, it is crucial that every case be studied, planned and treated independently; as there is no “cook book” approach for all cases. The clinician is encouraged to analyze each case thoroughly, to anticipate all potential consequences and consider all possibilities to develop the best available treatment plan. It is important that a multi-disciplinary dental team approach is utilized to help insure successful treatment.Full Paper
