Immediate loading of dental implants do work. If cases are properly evaluated and selected , the appropriate techniques, materials, and protocols are used, immediate loading for single units and large cases, in the maxilla as well as in the mandible can succeed.

Over the last 20 years, in an effort to improve and increase the integration of dental implants into everyday clinical practice, dentistry has significantly modified and enhanced many of the initial clinical guidelines for implant placement.

Because of the nature of osseointegration, implants need stability and good blood supply in order for the bone to grow to the surface of the implant. Therefore, if clinicians don't ensure excellent placement of the implants by selecting an implant that has the best capability of providing stability (i.e,it is long enough and has the most appropriate macro surface design), ensuring that there is sufficient bone, and verifying that there' is adequate blood supply (i. good width of bone), then no matter how nice the final crowns look, the process is going to fail.

3-D technology: the new paradigm for dental implantology

A COMBINATION OF CBCT WITH 3D PHOTOGRAPHY WHAT WILL ALLOW US TO SUPERIMPOSE YOUR IMAGE ONTO THE 3D XRAY AND PLAN YOUR TREATMENT THAT IS IN HARMONY WITH NOT JUST YOUR MOUTH BUT FACE AS WELL. THIS IS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT IN COSMETIC DENTISTRY, ESPECIALLY IN PLACING IMMEDIATE IMPLANTS .

A combination of CBCT with 3D photography what will allow us to superimpose your image onto the 3D xray and plan your treatment that is in harmony with not just your mouth but face as well. This is particularly important in cosmetic dentistry, especially in placing immediate implants .

As practitioners work to meet the growing demand for implants, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is an essential tool for treatment planning and post-procedure monitoring in immediate cases.

By providing highly accurate 3-D images of the patient's anatomy from a single, low-radiation scan, CBCT technology delivers a comprehensive understanding of the patient's jaw and the anatomical structures necessary to provide proper treatment .

To ensure a successful implant placement, one must take into account the patient's prosthetic needs, functional requirements, and anatomical constraints. During assessment, 3-D imaging contributes to a greater success rate due to its ability to visualize previously undetectable anatomic variability and pathology.

Simply put, CBCT-generated images provide detailed information that 2-D radiographs cannot. This, in turn, greatly aids precision,improves the entire implant process and enhances the probability of success.

There have recently been concerns regarding the amount of radiation dosage in medical CT scans. Unfortunately, these reports have created misunderstanding regarding dental scans, specifically CBCT scans.

Without the aid of 3-D imaging, doctors often must speculate on bone density or exactly how deep implants need to be. Panoramic radiography, conventional CT scans, and CBCT scans provide information about each implant site.

A FIXED REHABILITATION IS THE BEST TREATMENT OPTION FOR THE EDENTULOUS PATIENT. WITH CONTINUOUS CLINICAL AND SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IT HAS BECOME POSSIBLE TO TREAT EDENTULOUS CASE WITH IMMEDIATE IMPLANTS SUCH AS IN THE ALL-ON-4TM CONCEPT . IT GIVES THE HIGH FUNCTIONAL AND AESTHETIC FIXED SOLUTIONS, INCREASING THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF THESE PATIENTS.

A fixed rehabilitation is the best treatment option for the edentulous patient. With continuous clinical and scientific research it has become possible to treat edentulous case with immediate implants such as in the All-on-4TM concept . It gives the high functional and aesthetic fixed solutions, increasing the quality of life of these patients.

CBCT images, with less distortion than 2-D images, are more accurate in showing bone height and width and allowing for accurate measurements of jawbone thickness, while defining the shape of the bone contours.
Our clinic @drkamsiah clinic welcome referrals for dental colleagues.

We recognise dentists prefer to refer for discrete aspects of implant treatment as part of their overall care for patients. In these situations our consultation with patients will be limited to this aspect of patient care taking in to account the relevant dental health of the patient.

We are also happy to receive patients on referral for treatment planning so that their implant treatment includes management and maintenance of the complete dentition as part of a long term oral health strategy.

Implant treatment is a long term treatment option and involves a significant investment on the part of the patient so we have a duty to fully inform patients of their treatment options. You will find patients appreciate this consultative approach.

We encourage referral dentists to visit our clinic and be actively involved in the treatment planning of patients and offer mentoring services.
