Understand before deciding whether to implant teeth (Part Two)

threatening words 3

if there is a tooth that has received root canal treatment near the place where the artificial implant is buried, it will be more reassuring to pull it out first. This is a prerequisite for the long-term use of artificial teeth implants.

This is also the explanation made by dentists based on medical evidence. According to the research, when a tooth has received root canal treatment, even if there are no symptoms at all, it is quite possible that the mold that was previously infected with dental pulp will continue to breed at the root. If some * * * causes the bacteria that were originally in a stable state (in technical terms, it is written as "static state") to start to move again, then the bacteria will not only infect the teeth that have received root canal treatment, but also infect the surrounding teeth. Once the mold riots, it will quickly infect the alveolar bone with artificial implants buried in the adjacent area, so that the alveolar bone supported by artificial implants will be dissolved and lost in a short time, and finally the artificial root will fall off.

this is a convincing explanation, but if you think about it carefully, you will find some paradoxes in it. Originally, as long as the dentist didn't perform artificial dental implant treatment, the teeth didn't have to be pulled out. Of course, there is no need to pull out the adjacent teeth that have received root canal treatment. In other words, the dentist will pull out all the teeth adjacent to the patient who have received root canal treatment, so naturally, how many teeth are pulled out will increase the number of artificial implants.

We can't make a bridge connecting artificial implants and natural teeth. So in order to make a bridge, let's pull out the natural teeth that cause obstacles.

Dentists implant several artificial implants in the patient's mouth, and it is forbidden to connect the artificial implants with natural teeth by using a bridge. Because the dentist will use titanium screws to fix the artificial implant on the alveolar bone, the artificial implant will not fluctuate up and down; However, natural teeth are connected by the root membrane and alveolar bone, so it will fluctuate up and down more or less. If the teeth that move slightly are connected with the artificial implants that don't move like a mountain, then the patient will have a slight vibration every time he chews. The artificial implant continues to bear this slight vibration (slight displacement), which will gradually lose the alveolar bone supporting the teeth over time, and then the artificial implant will easily fall off.

The alveolar bone supports the teeth, and the surface is hard and dense bone, while the inside is made of soft sponge bone. Essentially, it is the dense bone that is supported by the artificial implant. If sustained by slight vibration, it will lead to the loose arrangement of dense bone parts, or even loss. The dense bone is closely connected with the gum, so the loss of alveolar bone will cause the gum to be exposed, making patients more prone to periodontal disease.

Therefore, if the dental bridge treatment is to be done on the artificial implant, the dentist may suggest the patient to remove the natural teeth left in the oral cavity from a preventive point of view.

In threats 1 to 4, dentists didn't "lie" to their patients. But what they are talking about is the best treatment for the success of artificial tooth implantation, not the best treatment for patients. If you accept the dentist's words and receive treatment, the teeth that can be preserved as long as you take good care of them will be pulled out one after another. I don't know how many artificial implants will be buried in your mouth.

If dental implants can be applied to all situations in a patient's life, I will agree that dentists should take the lead and treat patients with dental implants because they have more in-depth dental knowledge than patients. However, with the popularization of artificial dental implant therapy in the world, many sticking points have gradually emerged. For example, artificial dental implants may fall off earlier than natural teeth.

Because there are various problems in dental implant treatment, it is not a treatment method that can be recommended to everyone. Dentists can only perform tooth extraction treatment unless artificial tooth implantation can bring more benefits to patients.

My dentist's office also does artificial dental implants, but I will never put the cart before the horse, pull out the natural teeth that patients can still use and bury them in artificial implants. In addition, because I don't think that artificial dental implant therapy is the best treatment method, I will only advise patients to do artificial dental implant therapy after my diagnosis and think that choosing artificial dental implant therapy can bring the greatest benefits to patients compared with other methods.

Even a tooth with severe tooth decay or periodontal disease can be preserved as long as it is regularly given oral health care by a trusted dentist and managed. When the periodontal pocket is 6 to 7mm deep, ordinary dentists will probably pull out the teeth without thinking. However, in my dentist's office, there are patients who have maintained this condition for more than 2 years, and their teeth are still intact and need not be extracted.

Dentists who are keen on dental implant therapy will advise patients to have their teeth extracted. If you analyze it carefully, you will find that there are many limitations in successful dental implant therapy. If there are teeth with severe periodontal disease in the mouth, or there are teeth that have received root canal treatment near the embedding place of artificial implants, the risk of failure of artificial dental implants will increase. As far as these dentists are concerned, in order to ensure the success rate of artificial tooth implantation, they advise patients to pull out problematic teeth preventively, but I think this practice is completely putting the cart before the horse.

when patients consider receiving artificial dental implant treatment, we can generally imagine that patients will suffer from tooth decay and periodontal disease in addition to teeth with artificial dental implants. These patients' oral condition is not good, in fact, they are not suitable for artificial dental implant treatment.

Especially if there are many teeth in the patient's mouth suffering from severe periodontal disease, and the periodontal pocket is more than 6mm deep, dentists should not perform artificial tooth implantation treatment at all. At this time, because a large number of periodontal bacteria breed in the mouth, even artificial implants are prone to periodontal disease. In my dentist's office, these patients will be advised to make dental bridges or metal bed dentures.

On the contrary, I would recommend that patients who have made complete dentures (complete dentures) receive artificial dental implants without any teeth in their mouths.

because the complete denture is not fixed, it is easy to move, which often makes patients feel restless and unable to chew food properly. For these patients, artificial dental implants can be described as a dream treatment. Because there are no teeth in the patient's mouth, there are relatively few periodontal bacteria, which makes the risk of periodontal disease almost zero. At this time, if an artificial implant is embedded in the patient, and a complete denture that can be freely put on and taken off with an absorbable magnet is installed, the denture will not move, and the patient can eat whatever he wants.

If a dentist's office recommends patients to receive artificial dental implants, even if the patients refuse to have their teeth extracted and ask the dentist to provide other treatment methods, they should not be managed by the dentist. I think at this time, patients should change to other clinics to get the desired treatment.
