Implant Prosthesis
IMPLANT PROSTHESIS
Implants are Titanium/Zirconia based material which are surgically placed inside the jaw which mimics the root of the tooth.
It is an artificial tooth which attaches to the implants, which replaces the missing natural tooth/ natural teeth in the patient’s mouth.
- FP1- fixed implant prosthesis which replaces only the shape of the natural tooth.
- FP2- fixed implant prosthesis which replaces the shape of the tooth along with a portion of the root.
- FP3- fixed implant supported prosthesis which replaces the tooth and a portion of gum with gingival porcelain.
- RP4- Removable implant prosthesis which is completely supported by implants.
- RP5- removable implant prosthesis which is supported by both implants and supporting tissue
- Based on the way the crown is retained to the abutment implant prosthesis is divided into 2 types which are screw retained and cement retained prosthesis.
- We at RR dental labs have pioneered in all types of implant prosthesis. Our main motto is to provide affordable treatment plan for all dental prosthesis.
An implant crown which is designed in such a way that it screws directly into the implant. The main advantage of screw retained prosthesis is retrievability followed by better control on hygiene around the implant reducing the cause of peri-implantitis.
At RR dental labs we design screw retained prosthesis for single implants (connection with hex), multiple implants (connection without hex) and multiunit level implants.
Cement retained implant crowns are designed in such a way that they are adhered onto the abutment which in turn is seated onto the implant. the advantage of cement retained crowns are they provide better aesthetics and ease of prosthetic placements.
With the help of advanced machinery and our skilled technicians we are capable of designing cement retained prosthesis for single implant, multiple implants and full mouth implants.
Types of Implant Prosthesis based on the material used
At RR dental labs we make both permanent and provisional prosthesis
Provisional implant prosthesis
these are temporary implant prosthesis made out of poly methyl methacrylate. the main purpose is to maintain aesthetics and gives a psychological reinforcement for the patient especially when the implants are placed in aesthetic region. PMMA also is an excellent material for immediate loading of implant as they transfer fewer forces onto the implant.
The number of mucormycosis patients who had undergone extensive resective surgeries has increased exponentially post COVID-19 outbreak. we at RR dental labs are proud to let you know that we provide fixed prosthetic PMMA supported prosthesis for such patients.
Permanent implant prosthesis
Implant prosthesis that is given once the implants are stable and which withstands the masticatory forces in the mouth are called permanent implant prosthesis.
Prosthetic material used in the prosthesis we make at RR dental labs
PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate)
it is a long-term temporary prosthesis which are used on both single unit and multiple implants. At RR dental labs we make the best use of technology and we mill as well as 3D print PMMA prosthesis. the advantage of milling or 3D printing of PMMA over traditional technique is there is no polymerization shrinkage which makes it more convenient for the operator and reducing the chair time of the patient.
Composite
composite as a superstructure is used at RR dental labs for PEEK substructures making it aesthetically pleasing for the patient.
DMLS(Co-Cr)
Direct metal laser sintering is a type of metal additive manufacturing technique of Cobalt Chromium alloy with which we at RR dental labs form frameworks for multiple implants and full mouth restorations.
DMLS (Ti)
RR dental labs is one of the very few dental labs in the world to have a titanium MLS machine with which we can provide frameworks for full mouth implant patients. Titanium is a very biocompatible material making it ideal for all dental restorations. As both, dental implants as well as the prosthesis are made out of same material, the probability of prosthesis fracture or implant failure has greatly reduced. Titanium is also used in Paulo-Malo frameworks making zirconia a viable option for full mouth implant patients.
Zirconia (CAD/CAM)
Milled zirconia is used along with Titanium or PEEK frameworks
PEEK (polyethyl ether ketone)
PEEK is one of the most advanced materials in dentistry. Because of its high strength and high aesthetic consideration we at RR dental labs use it for making implant frameworks. Paulo-Malo framework also uses PEEK as a substructure
Paulo Malo framework
zirconia crowns for completely edentulous patients had always been a myth as individual zirconia crowns on a metal framework increases the weight of the prosthesis exponentially. with the introduction of Paulo-Malo frameworks RR dental labs have eliminated the shortcoming of zirconia crowns for edentulous patients. Paulo-Malo framework we fabricate at RR dental labs is a titanium/PEEK substructure with individual crowns of zirconia keeping in mind of both functional and aesthetic requirements of the patient.
Conclusion
With the increasing awareness of oral health and needs of the patients, there have been constant modifications and advancements in all types of dental treatments. With the increase in the number of implant companies and implant designs we at RR dental labs believe in keeping ourselves updated and at par with the current trends in dental implant systems and implant prosthesis.
