I don't have 4-5 teeth in my lower jaw. I had a bridge before. My last tooth decayed. My doctor had to extract it. I can't trust which implants are of good quality. How many implants need to be made? When we extract teeth at the back of the lower jaw, we are forced to have implants.

If there is a gap of 3 teeth, 2 implants are required. If there is a gap of 4 teeth, 2-3 implants can be made, of course, depending on the condition of the bone and the condition of the mouth. The number of implants, such as 2 or 3, also depends on the quality of the implant, the quality is a bit debatable.

There are very old implant brands in quality implantology. These implants were generally 5 to 6 known brands. These have now increased to 15-20, and behind them are dozens of brands that are not heard of but of the same quality as the second group. We know that today's implants exceed 550 in the world, and we know that there are over 100 implants in Türkiye.

Now, the decision should be left entirely to the doctor. The doctor will tell you which implant he will use, and it is only natural for you to ask. Implants The part that remains inside the bone is mostly in the form we accept today, in the form of a root and a screw structure. In other words, the screw with its ligaments is made in this form so that it grasps the bone well, that is, distributes the forces well so that you can eat on it.

Of course, this can be changed in terms of shape. If the surface of the implant is roughened, it is a known fact that this implant technologically awakens bone cells in the bone, attracts them and fuses with them. This is already the basis of implantology. This was discovered in the 80s.

Implant Brands

A titanium implant that was accidentally placed in a rabbit's leg, and its surface was not rough yet, could not be removed from the rabbit's bone after 6 months, so they say titanium is something special. Years later, its surfaces were roughened so that it would fuse more quickly.

The dimensions of the implant are even better when the amount of holes fits the bone cell. Under this perspective, almost all of the companies that produce technological implants roughen the surface of the implant with this known technology. Now all that remains is this form and design.

On top of this form and design, this cap part that we use when inserting the tooth, does the way the cap part and the implant come together, does it breed bacteria? Does the way the implant comes together, does it have a harmful effect on the bone, does the bone move away, does it melt over time, these are important in implantology, otherwise, we have long passed the science of implantology, where the implant is placed inside the bone and fuses with the bone.

Because implants are placed inside the bone and become ossified. But what kind of bone is the one we place? How do we place the implant? What is the experience and practice of the doctor who places the implant? These questions greatly affect implantology.
