**Dental implant life**
==================================
The life of a dental implant depends on various factors. Including:
- type of brand used
- Personal hygiene
- presence of underlying diseases
- use of tobacco and alcohol
- Surgeon skills for implant placement
- existing bone and gum conditions
**The type of brand used**
Various companies are trying to improve and improve the quality and quantity of their implants in order to increase the life of the dental implant.
For example, a group creates changes in the surface properties of the implant by adding different materials to the surface of the implant. Such as adding hydroxyapatite to the surface of the implant or spraying titanium metal on the implant. Another group improves its quality by roughening the surface of the implant.
These factors are microscopic changes in the surface of the implant.There are also changes in the macroscopic surfaces of the implant that strengthen the attachment of the implant to the bone. Such as: changes such as conical and cylindrical implant body. Each of these cases has its own applications.
For example: the conical model is especially useful in areas where the tooth has just been pulled. Or the cylindrical model is suitable for areas with low bone density.
### **personal hygiene**
Hygiene is one of the main factors in increasing the lifespan of a dental implant and its survival. Because lack of hygiene causes the accumulation of bacteria and food around the implant, which in turn causes inflammation and gum disease. This inflammation and gum disease destroys the gums and supporting bone around the implant.
### **Presence of underlying diseases**
Underlying diseases such as diabetes and blood pressure reduce the proper blood supply around the implant. This causes the risk of bone loss in the long term and negatively affects the life of the dental implant. Also, in diabetes, the immune system has problems, and the body's reaction to bacteria and microbes is weak. This itself causes a lack of proper reaction to bacteria and infectious agents in the body and increases the risk of infection and bone destruction and gum recession.
#### Tobacco and alcohol use
Tobacco and alcohol cause vascular contraction and this reduces the blood supply around the implant to the gum and bone tissue. And it also has a negative effect on the immune system.
The set of factors mentioned increases the risk of infection. which then causes bone and gum degeneration. In addition, the use of tobacco and alcohol increases the pain of patients after surgery. These people suffer from dry mouth, which causes a delay in the healing of their wounds.
#### **Existing bone and gum conditions**
The main factor supporting the implant is the supporting bone and gum around the implant. Not only does it have a significant impact on the strength of the implant and increase the lifespan of the dental implant, but it also plays a significant role in the beauty of the smile. If the bone and gum around the implant is weak, it will gradually reduce the strength of the implant and it is even possible that the implant will be pushed back.
For this reason, it is emphasized to strengthen the existing tissue if there is weak tissue around the implant. This means that the patient may need a gum transplant or a bone transplant. that this link may be at the same time as the implant or a separate session a few months before the implant.
