Did the dentist tell you that your implant is lost and should be removed? What are the causes of this failure? Let's find out together what is to remove a failed dental implant. In the last decade, implantology has reached very high levels in terms of guarantee, success, and safety. However, it can happen that that much-coveted facility that you have entered, at a certain distance of time, goes bankrupt. In such cases, the only possible treatment is the removal of the screw. Only later will it be possible to assess whether the area may be suitable for second implant surgery or for a different treatment. Why remove a dental implant The greatest fear of those who must undergo implant surgery is the risk of losing the implant. In fact, over time a series of biological or prosthetic problems can occur that require their removal. Generally in the first 5 years from the insertion of the vine, the biological problems prevail (lack of osseointegration, mucositis, peri-impla...

Are you a smoker and would you like to use dental implants?  Is smoking the only vice you have and would you rather not stop?  Let's see what the scientific literature says about the possible combination of smoke and implants. Smoking is associated with a wide range of health risks and is implicated in the manifestation of numerous diseases. At the level of the oral cavity it predisposes to caries, periodontitis, and neoplasias; but is it compatible with the systems? The implants are artificial roots that must be integrated with the bone that houses them. The osseointegration process requires that the bone heals around the implant itself, ensuring stability over time. It is precisely between bone and implant that smoking can exert its harmful potential. What does the scientific literature on smoking and plants say? In order to understand what the real correlations between smoke and implants are, we have analyzed the most up-to-date scientific publications on the s...

"Prosthetic teeth should not be cleaned because they cannot decay."   Is this information correct? What are the main precautions to be observed for cleaning the prosthesis on implants? Let's find out together. Crowns on implants: what are them? With dental implants, it is possible to replace single teeth or make bridges or larger structures that can replace all the elements of the entire dental arch with fixed devices (which the patient cannot remove) or mobile. Whether the tooth is replaced by just one or all, cleaning the prosthesis and, more generally, correct oral hygiene is one of the daily activities essential for safeguarding the health of a dental implant. Denture cleaning on implants: why not neglect it? - Many patients wonder what sense to have in brushing their false teeth since they cannot decay. The reason must be found at the level of tissues that support the implants, namely bone and gingiva. These in fact, if they are not treated, can undergo...

Each person has its own characteristics, its problems, its needs, and only through the realization of an individual care plan that takes into account the specific characteristics of each individual can we arrive at the best therapeutic solution suitable for a specific patient. The Dentist is the Medical Specialist of the diseases of the mouth, but only a few know this by associating the figure of the dentist with a dentist.  The mouth is composed of hard tissues (teeth) and soft tissues (gums, tongue, muscles) that together constitute the oral cavity and the care of all these anatomical components is the responsibility of the Dentist. Only with a careful analysis of the clinical situation that results from a scrupulous visit of the soft and hard tissues of the mouth by the Specialist Doctor can a correct treatment plan be reached that allows an effective and lasting cure over time, but above all safe for your health. The Movement for the protection of Private Dentistry and...
