Welcomes you to his web site and invites you to explore it.
This site is designed to present my clinical practice.
Pay attention on the unjustified extractions of damaged teeth or dental roots before lose them! Take a second opinion to be sure that the extraction is really necessary. Removing the teeth because of the less clinical difficulties is not a sign of modernity or progress! Preservation and maintain of valuable teeth should be an aspiration of each dentist being worthy of respect.
The utilisation of the endoseeus implants allows to resolve the problems of missing teeth after their extractions and in the case of the incomfort removable dentures. Implants used especially to replace single missing teeth may present the most conservating option between the others actual treatments because it avoids teeth preparation -so important in the case of the intact adjacent teeth. The implant is like an artificial dental root placed in the bone of maxilla or mandible
and serving as a support for fixed prosthetic restorations (crowns, bridges) or as a strong anchorage (balls or bar retention systems) for the amovible prostheses.
The standard implant treatment has two stages:
An increasing number of well-controlled longitudinal studies have demonstrated that osseointegrated oral implants are a safe, predictable therapy for replacement of missing teeth, but patient's general health and local conditions don't always allow this therapy. There are the indications and the recommendations for implant treatment :
The local factors (anatomical contraindications to implantation, size and topography of prosthetic space, presence of cavities or tooth mobility, the quality of existing filings on the adjacent teeth with missing teeth) influence the most the choice between the conventional and the implant treatment.
A strict patient’s selection based on clinical and radiological exam (panoramic x-ray, scanner with radiological guide) is indispensable for the future long term functional and aesthetic success. Another essential problem in the implantology concerns as well the patients as the practitioners – not to focus only on the implant per se, but rather on the entire clinical problem to be solved.
The regular dental plaque control and check-up are necessary in the follow-up after treatment.
