Dentistry is known to be one of the oldest medical practices in existence. It began in 300 BC, when Egyptian dentists embedded precious stones in patients’ teeth as implants to replace damaged teeth. But that was not all, more than functional dentistry, it was esthetic dentistry.
Throughout history, dentistry has been updated, adapting to modern technology. Scientific advances in dentistry, as we know them today, seemed unattainable, but we now know that they are not. Nowadays, it is not necessary to embed precious stones, since there are implants and prostheses, in different varieties, according to the specific needs of the patient.
Dental implants are reliable treatments for patients in need of partial implants or for patients with totally edentulous jaws. Previously, when a patient needed a dental implant, it had to be approached through two stages of surgery, to allow the implant to be submerged and unloaded and to guarantee a predictable osseointegration. But with surgical procedures, it required a longer healing period and entailed the risk that the result would not be as expected.
Immediate Loading Implantology, is a concept that has simplified the patient’s life when it comes to needing dental prostheses, since its objective is to place temporary implants, thus improving the area esthetically and allowing the patient not to use a removable prosthesis while the definitive restoration is being fabricated.
When we talk about Immediate Loading Implantology, we refer to placing a dental implant (which consists of a screw that replaces the root of the tooth) and thus lead on it the dental piece that will be provisional, at the time of having extracted the natural piece (or tooth). The good thing about this technique is that there is no need to wait a month to be able to show off the best smile, since everything is done the same day.
But after three months, the patient will have to go to the dentist again, since after this period of time, the dentist will have to place the prosthesis that will be the definitive one, that is to say, the prosthesis that will have the best esthetic quality.
Immediate Loading Implantology is good for patients who need it, since it provides the comfort of wearing the provisional prosthesis continuously, without the need to remove it and without the need to wear removable prostheses, which tend to be uncomfortable for the patient. On the other hand, it also allows the patient to progressively adapt to the prosthesis that will be definitive.
It allows the patient to improve their esthetic quality and also improve chewing and phonation. Giving the teeth greater functionality.
Immediate Loading Implantology is recommended for all those patients who suffer partial or total loss of dental pieces or when a patient presents a notable deterioration in any piece.
In order to undergo this procedure, the patient must meet the requirements of having adequate bone quality and healthy bones to place the implant. If the patient does not have the necessary bone mass, the implantologist will perform a bone graft before performing the intervention and then evaluate if it is stable to perform the immediate loading implantology. The patient must also maintain a good gingival condition and must undergo adequate periodontal maintenance. It is not recommended for patients with periodontal disease or chronic diseases such as diabetes.
When the patient meets all these requirements, he/she will be able to undergo the treatment, which will take place in a single day, allowing the new provisional teeth to integrate in the same way as the natural ones do.
Osseointegration consists of the process in which the implant adheres to the bone and lasts about 3 months. An implant fails if, during this period of time, new bone is not created and, on the contrary, fibrous tissue is created that prevents the implant from completely attaching to the jawbone. This is totally fatal for the patient, because if this is the case, immediate loading implantology cannot be performed. There are different causes for this to occur, among them are:
This means that the candidate or patient to have an Immediate Loading Implantology is not suitable to receive this type of intervention. As explained before, in order to be eligible for an Immediate Loading Implantology, the patient must meet specific requirements, which include good bone quality and good periodontal health. If this is not the case, the implant will fail.
After the Immediate Loading Implantology surgery is performed, the patient must follow a series of postoperative guidelines, so that its function is completely fulfilled. Since there is a very large percentage in the result, which will depend entirely on the postoperative care given by the patient.
The postoperative care is performed as follows: the patient will not be able to spit or rinse his mouth with any type of product in the first 24 hours, since this affects the healing. Cold should also be applied to the area to avoid inflammation.
The patient may take analgesics to avoid pain. After 48 hours, the patient can use 0.20% chlorhexidine rinses for a period of 7 to 15 days, as recommended by the doctor, and should also use a soft toothbrush.
During the following months, before the placement of the definitive implant, the patient should avoid carrying weight and avoid any physical exercise.
If the patient is diabetic, he/she should take special care in oral hygiene, since they usually have healing problems or slow healing.
It is necessary to reduce the intake of foods that cause an overload in the Immediate Loading Implantology, such as hard meat and nuts, until the healing is complete.
Patients should stop smoking after surgery, because smoking hinders tissue healing. Similarly, alcohol consumption should be moderated.
If patients have oral diseases, such as periodontitis or gingivitis, they have a greater chance of rejecting the implant. And likewise, if patients suffer from chronic diseases, such as diabetes, they may lose their implants, since patients with diabetes have problems with healing, which prevents the prosthesis from adhering completely and correctly to the jawbone. Therefore, the diabetic patient must fully comply with each and every one of the indications given and required by the doctor.
Receiving blows on the prosthesis, after having performed the Immediate Loading Implantology intervention, can be very harmful for the patient, since this can prevent the osseointegration process (which means the integration of the implant with the bone), thus making the surgical intervention fail and the patient is no longer suitable to place the definitive implant, after the required months have elapsed.
Immediate Loading Implantology is designed so that the implants have porosities on the surface, in order to facilitate bone formation in a faster way, and with textured surfaces, in order to increase the area. Immediate Loading Implantology, consists of provisional implants, therefore the stipulated date for their use is maximum of six months. The use of Immediate loading Implantology is more frequent in oral areas where there is a high esthetic compromise or when all the pieces (or teeth) of a patient have to be totally replaced.
Immediate Load prostheses are made of resin, therefore the duration time inside the oral cavity is a maximum of 6 months. This is the period necessary for the implant to carry out the necessary osseointegration and for the soft tissues to adapt to the anatomical shape of the provisional dental piece.
During the 3 months in which it is necessary for the patient to have Immediate Loading Implantology, he/she should maintain excellent communication with the doctor and the dental technician, in order to guarantee that the definitive tooth has the necessary characteristics. And likewise, the dentist will be able to define the corresponding occlusal points and modify the gum space. All of this is transmitted to the dental technician, who will fabricate the prosthesis that adapts to the patient’s requirements.
Not just any dentist can place an implant, since Immediate Loading Implantology must be performed by specialized implantologists. If the surgery is not performed by a specialized dentist, there may be problems such as rejection or health complications. All the processes of Immediate Loading Implantology are necessary for the success of the intervention.
