Implant Maintenance
-
Use plastic, plasti-dipped, or titanium instruments only
Use radiographs to determine infection, bone levels (0.2mm annual loss acceptable)
Mobility: Mobility may be restoration-related only, but implant should be checked annually for mobility stability

Self: As assistant, one dds would always adjust occlusion of implant crown to be below natural tooth occlusion to avoid overloading implant
Types of Implants
Endosseous: Most common, "typical implant"; blade, cylinder, screw types
Subperiosteal: "under the periosteum"; cast metal frames that rest on bone of max/mand; posts protrude through gingiva to attach to denture/bridge/crowns
Self: have seen subperiosteal pano of patient with broken frame, caused pain and inability to wear overdenture! :(
Transosteal: "through the bone"; mandibular anchors placed from chin into mouth; usually used during jaw surgery/broken jaw bone
Transitional: less than 3mm diameter; can be used for ortho or "mini implants"; should be used if traditional restorations failed/pt was no candidate for
Endodontic: "in and through the tooth"; long, wide post placed into root canal and extends into bone; helps stabilize tooth
