What are full-mouth implants and which patients with missing teeth are suitable?

Full-mouth implants are an ideal dental restoration method for patients with full or partial edentulous teeth. According to the implantation plan of full-mouth implantation, full-mouth implantation is mainly divided into fixed implant restoration and semi-fixed implant restoration. If the alveolar bone condition of the patient with missing teeth is good, you can choose fixed full-mouth implants. About 6 to 8 implants are placed in the upper and lower jaws to achieve a full-mouth fixed denture; if the alveolar bone condition of the patient with missing teeth is If the width and height are insufficient to carry out multiple implants, about 2 to 4 implants can be planted in individual locations, and then ball caps or bar-type attachments can be used to form a removable denture.

Currently, there are not many doctors nationwide who can independently perform full-mouth implant surgery. In the clinical case of full-mouth implantation, no matter which implantation plan is used, what affects the success rate of implantation is not only the clinical experience of professional doctors, but also the selection of implants.

High-quality implants have better biocompatibility and better integration with the alveolar bone after implantation. Coupled with the patented technology of some implant brands, even full-mouth implants that are extremely difficult to implant can be Planting, the planting success rate will also be significantly improved. Among the top implant brands in the world, Swiss Straumann implants have a relatively good reputation. Straumann's hydrophilic surface implants can osseointegrate in about a few months faster than other traditional implants. The entire treatment process is shortened accordingly, and the patient's treatment process is also easier.

Most of Straumann implants use high-grade pure titanium or titanium-zirconium alloy as raw materials. In the medical field, titanium metal has good biocompatibility, so artificial hip joints, knee joints, shoulder joints, etc. are all made of titanium metal. Overall, titanium implants have higher protection and are more conducive to osseointegration after implantation. In addition, Straumann has decades of clinical experience in the field of titanium metal implants, with a high success rate of implantation and stable use for decades after implantation.

Because the technical difficulty of full-mouth implantation is extremely high, professional doctors need to accurately grasp the position, angle, depth of the implant, and whether the angles between the various implants after implantation comply with the mechanical principles. Therefore, patients with full/half-mouth missing teeth need to make a clear premise before considering full-mouth implants: find a sophisticated and professional dental hospital, follow the doctor’s professional advice, choose appropriate implants, and regain a mouthful of “new teeth.” ".
