What are the types of prosthesis attached to implants? The types of prosthesis attached to implants are generally either fixed or removable. Fixed ones are the type of prosthesis that are glued onto implants, just like the veneers applied to natural teeth. This can be done on a single implant or on a whole mouth implant. Or it can be in the form of a false palate that the patient can put on and take off on the implants. This […]

What is a zirconium metal-free crown? In zirconium metal-free crowns, it is actually a fixed prosthesis that has been developed in the last decade as a preference for porcelains that do not have metal underneath, which we call full porcelain. It has a substructure called zirconium oxide as an equivalent to the metal support. In fact, it has porcelain on it. This is completely equivalent to metal-supported ones, and it can withstand the force very well, and it is also […]

What is a porcelain metal-supported crown? Porcelain metal-supported crowns are fixed prostheses that we use to give the shape we call coating to decayed and damaged teeth to regain their tooth form. Metal-supported crowns or metals made of nickel or gold are used to withstand the force underneath. Metal-supported crowns are generally preferred on implants. Again, the reason for this is that the strength of metal-supported ones is very […]

Can diabetics have implants? There is no problem in diabetics having implants if their diabetes is under control. This has also been proven by research. If the sugar level is around what we would consider normal, for example, if fasting blood sugar is below one hundred sixty to one hundred seventy, it is not a normal value, but it is not a level that prevents implants. Fasting blood sugar should normally be around one hundred and ten. But below one hundred sixty to one hundred seventy […]

Why do implants get inflamed? Inflammation of implants is a very rare event. Inflammation usually occurs around implants due to poor oral hygiene in that area, a certain surgical damage in that area during the implant, or a small amount of gum tissue. But of course, this is a condition that can be treated.  

Can smokers have implants? Smokers can have implants. There are many patients who smoke, of course smoking damages the gums and healing. But these damages may not be to the extent of completely preventing the implant from fusing with the bone. But we cannot say that it does not cause any harm. Smoking is as harmful to the body as it is to oral health. Implants can be made, but […]

Is Turkish-made implant (screwed tooth) safe? Whether implants are safe or not is a subject of debate in the world today, but it can be evaluated as follows. There are companies that produce implants in accordance with certain standards and there are companies that produce illegally. It is said that illegal production is all over the world, even in our country, including orthopedic implants. The most important part of implants here is that they are […]

How can we compare the feeling of implant teeth in the mouth? The feeling that implant teeth give in the mouth is quite difficult to distinguish from natural teeth after a certain period of time. Of course, there is a fundamental difference between implants fusing directly to the jaw bone and natural teeth being connected to the bone with very thin ligaments. Some of our teeth, especially our canine teeth, can give us some senses that we call deep perception. […]
