POSSIBLE UNDESIRABLE SIDE EFFECTS
Possible undesirable side effects associated with the use of dental implants might include: the lack or loss of integration, dehiscences that require guided bone regeneration, perforation of the mascellar and/or nasal sinuses cortical, the vestibular and/or palate/lingual cortical, the lower mandibular border, the lower alveolar canal, infected abscesses, fistulae, suppuration, inflammations, radio transparency, persistent pain, numb nerve lesions, paraesthesia, anaesthesia, hyperaesthesia, a loss of bone that requires additional intervention, implant fracture.Hygiene and Care of the Implant
The useful life of the implant is directly dependent on the state of the oral cavity. A patient should be aware of how to maintain oral hygiene. It is recommended that the patient should periodically visit the doctor's office for inspection and professional cleaning of the implantSurgical Drills
Rinse drills with water for two and a half minutes. Use a 25-gauge needle to clean the lumen, while continually flushing water through the needle. Sonicate for 10 minutes after cleaning the instrument with an ultra sonic cleaner and enzymatic detergent. Rinse with tap water for three minutes.Drilling Procedure
After good surgical exposure of the bony surface, the position for the implant should be determined and a guide hole should be made using our round-head burr, taken down into the cortical bone to the level of the neck beneath the burr head.Do not attempt to drill deeper with the round burr. Using the guide hole for position, the color-coded drill bits will be utilized to drill the hole to the desired depth.
IMPLANTS
Shark Implants
General DescriptionShark Implants are formed with converging threads that originate from two different points on the implant body.
The dental implant body itself has three cones and variable thread design:
- The main part of the implant has a cone that is angled depending upon its length.
- The cone of the external thread track is angled at between 90 – 180° to the main implant body cone.
- The final cone is located on the neck of the implant and is formed from two fine threads which broaden to form a cone dependent on the diameter size of the implant.
- The internal hexagon is 2.2mm deep and formed with an internal thread of 2.5mm for fixing the abutment and super abutment units
Shark implants are supplied in the following dimensions:
| Diameters | 3.5, 3.8, 4.2, 5.0, 6.0mm |
| Lengths | 8, 10, 11.5, 13, 16mm |
Installation Techniques
Thin Alveolar Bone- Installation of dental implants in the maxillary anterior segment for those with low alveolar bones necessitates a bocal undercut and sinus lift.
- Inserting in a high position reduces the necessity of bone removal for those with low density bone structure.
Installation of dental implants into a thin bone necessitates a sinus lift when the immediate load is applied.
Installation following Tooth Extraction
The installation of dental implants immediately following a tooth extraction is possible due to the anatomic configuration of the implant abutment.
Dolphin Implants
General DescriptionDolphin dental implants contain a single cylindrical thread along the implant body.
The dental implant body itself has three cones and variable thread design:
- The implant body has a cylindrical contour, with the thread contour differing from the external implant contour.
- The neck thread is comprised of two origins which create a cone shape that broadens in correlation to the diameter size.
- The neck edge has a variable angle in accordance with the implant diameter.
- The edge of the implant apex is rounded.
- The thread broadens out as it travels from the apical edge towards the neck of the dental implant. It has a thread pitch 1.2mm (a single beginning).
- The implant neck thread starts from two places and has a thread pitch of up to 0.6mm (0.3mm per a thread).
- The edge of the implant apex is rounded to maximize placement and comfort.
- The internal hexagon is 2.43mm deep and formed with an internal thread of 2.2mm for fixing the abutment and superstructure members 1–72".
| Diameters | 3.3, 3.8, 4.2, 5.0, 6.0mm |
| Lengths | 8, 10, 11.5, 13, 16mm |
Installation Techniques
Dolphin implants are specially designed for treatment involving immediate placement and immediate loading.Dense Alveolar Bone
Installation of Dolphin dental implants appropriate for patients with low alveolar bones where a bocal undercut and sinus lift is required.
Dense Cortical Bone
Dolphin implants are appropriate for patients with thin bone where a sinus lift is required and immediate load is applied.
Installation following Tooth Extraction
The installation of dental implants immediately following a tooth extraction is possible due to the anatomic configuration of the implant abutment.
Whale One-Piece Implants
General InformationThe dental implant body has three elements:
- The main part of the implant has cylindrical contours with a thread contour that conforms to the external contour.
- The cone of the implant neck is designed for maximum connection to the soft tissue surrounding the bone.
- The cylindrical implant head has four faces and is designed for prosthetic rehabilitation. It protrudes inside the mouth above the soft tissue.
- The thread broadens out as it extends from the apical edge towards the neck of the dental implant. It has a thread pitch 1.2mm (a single beginning).
- The implant neck has a smooth, polished surface and comes in tapered or straight in designs.
- The implant head can be conical (tapered) or straight along the gum line and can be inserted flush with the gum or protruding to a height of 3mm.
- The Whale implant abutment has the following features:
- The neck and the prosthetic abutment together form a single unit which has the benefit of preventing the formation of a gap alongside the neck of the implant.
- This one-piece design assists the preservation of the bone and reduces both compression and contact between the soft tissue and the neck of the implant.
- The implant abutment is solid and rigid and makes use of small diameter implants.
- The Whale implant has the advantage of being installed in a single surgical operation.
| Diameters | 3.0 and 3.3mm |
| Lengths | 10, 13 and 16mm |
Installation Techniques
Dense Alveolar BoneInstallation of Whale dental implants is appropriate for patients with dense alveolar bones.
Thin Bone
Implantation in very thin bone when immediate load is applied.
Reduced Mesiodistal Gap
Whale implants are suitable in cases of reduced mesiodistal gap.
Installation following Tooth Extraction
The installation of dental implants immediately following a tooth extraction is possible due to the anatomic configuration of the implant abutment. Temporary implants can also be used.
