Ceramic Implants

Why Are Ceramic Implants Preferred Today?

The most popular method of replacing missing or missing teeth today is implant treatments.

Why Are Implant Treatments Popular?

Because people are getting older day by day and do not want to grow old. For this reason, people who do not want to have their adjacent teeth cut in the treatment of missing teeth or who are completely toothless want to have fixed teeth again. In this sense, implants give our patients and us the chance to perform long-term permanent treatment.

So far, dentists have mainly preferred titanium implants.

As we explained at the beginning of our article, people want to grow old but not grow old. As a result of the desire to stay young and healthy, holistic approaches and treatment methods are preferred in combating some systemic diseases and autoimmune diseases.

When Were Ceramic Implants First Used?

In the years when implants were first discovered, ceramic implants were used, but there were some problems with these applications. These problems are usually related to the breakage of the implant.

Today, with the advancement of this technology, zirconium implants, which contain both white and hard and durable material, have become popular methods. In these applications, both positive and negative results have been obtained in the long-term success.

The aim of all this is to create a ceramic and bone connection in the area that comes into contact with the body. In other words, to ensure biocompatibility.

What has changed with the production of metal-on-ceramic implants?

Ceramic surface implants, which combine the robust structure of metal with the biocompatibility of ceramics, have provided a specific area of ​​use for the sector and for individuals with immune system diseases, especially those examined with a holistic approach.

In terms of holistic health, the most important issue in applications made to the body is personalized solutions.

For this reason, the treatment that will help the person regain or maintain their health is decided together with the doctor, that is, the doctor is the guide here.

As dentists, we offer a range of our own methods in terms of materials and treatment methods when offering treatment options to our patients.

In this holistic approach, the patient's body structure, allergies and health process up to that day are as important as their wishes. Guided by all these, the materials to be used are selected specifically for the person.

It is important that the materials to be used in this selection are technological, open to development and that this development is based on evidence. For this reason, the technological development of ceramic implants is quite exciting.

As with all implant systems, technological developments in ceramic implants lead us to make conscious choices regarding the range we offer to our patients.

How is a Titanium Inside and Ceramic Outside Implant Produced?

By spraying ceramic particles onto the surface of a titanium implant, the titanium structure is transformed into a ceramic surface structure. The ceramic surface of the implant surface structure, that is, the part where it is connected to the gum, should be taken into consideration.

In other words, this part must be biocompatible. In this sense, the implants developed contain gold in their neck parts, that is, the parts connected to the gum.

Think about it, the inside of an implant is made of titanium and is a very strong structure, the top, that is, the part that connects the bone and the tooth, is ceramic and the part that connects the gum is gold; in other words, the whole system has been developed according to tissue compatibility.

What is the Contribution of Ceramic Implants to the Dentist?

Technological development should facilitate human life and be functional, that is, it should provide the dentist with ease of application, durability and safe use.

For our patients, technology should be compatible with the body's demands, and individuals who want to maintain their general body health as they age should produce materials that fit this logic and offer their use.

Likewise, the implant to be used by our business partners, namely our technicians, should provide ease of use in terms of technology.

With the knowledge of all this, as dentists, we must first look after the health of our patients. During this monitoring, we work together with medical doctors and make the selection of materials suitable for the holistic health of our patients, thus ensuring their treatment is successful.
