What is an implant on the tooth root?

This implant is one of the most common types of implants and is used when there is a large width and depth of the jaw bone. To install an implant inside the jaw, a surgical process is required and it takes about 3 to 6 months for the implant to fuse to the jawbone and to be ready to place the dental crown on the implant.

Methods of implant on tooth root

The implant on the root of the tooth is done in two different ways, which are as follows: ### Plaque implant If the jaw bone is too narrow or short for root implantation, a plaque form implant is used. This implant is a flat and long implant that is placed directly above the jaw bone and under the gums. After placing the implant in the jaw bone, the bone and surrounding tissue grow and make it stronger. It takes about 3 to 6 months to create a sufficient connection between the implant and the jaw and to be able to install the dental crown on it. ### Subperiosteal implant Subperiosteal implants are used if there is insufficient bone width or height for root or plaque implants. For this, a custom-made implant must be made, which acts as an artificial jawbone and attaches to the natural jawbone and increases its surface. This implant is placed on top of the jaw bone and under the gum like a plaque implant. To perform this implant, a mold must be made from the area of the jawbone where the implant is installed. Two different methods can be used for bone molding. In the first method, an incision is made on the gum, and after reaching the jawbone, a mold is taken from it and sent to the laboratory to make the mold. In the second method, a CAT scan is used and a model of the jaw bone is made through computer modeling techniques, and then this model is sent to the dental laboratory to make the desired implant.
