What is the difference between digital and normal implants? Are they different from each other? Today, with the advancement of dental science, the methods of replacing lost teeth have changed. One of these developments is the digital implant, which has important differences from the conventional implant. What is a normal implant? Conventional dental implant is a method of replacing lost teeth, which is done with titanium plates and in a period of 3-4 months at the discretion of the dentist. This method is the most up-to-date treatment for replacing missing teeth. Can you tell me what is the difference between a digital implant and a normal one? Digital and normal implants have many differences in every aspect, so we will compare digital and normal implants in the following. What is a digital implant? Digital implant or computerized implant is an advanced and accurate method for replacing a missing tooth, which is done using digital technologies and 3D imaging. In this method, advanced devices such as 3D CT scan (CBCT) and intraoral scanners are used to take accurate 3D images of the jaw and structures around the teeth. Then, with specialized software, the exact location and angle of the implant is programmed virtually. By now, you know the difference between a digital implant and a normal one, but we are going to discuss this issue further. Digital implant is divided into three parts: 1. Implant surgery 2. Implant molding 3. Laboratory procedures ### Features and differences between digital and normal implants In the following, we will learn about the difference between digital and normal implants, and the most important difference between the two is in their features. Finally, it should be noted that simply using a digital method does not indicate that it is better than the conventional method. Up-to-date facilities make it easier to perform the stressful implant procedure and the implant process can be performed more accurately. The most important point is the therapist, which method he uses to achieve a more accurate treatment. If you want to **get to know implant components better** and make a decision with more information, we have provided you with important and useful explanations about implant components, which will be very useful. Suitable candidates for digital implants Who are suitable candidates for digital implants? In the following, we will answer this frequent question: • People who have lost one or more teeth • Those who have sufficient and healthy bone in the jaw • People who are looking for accurate, quick and painless treatment • People who are dissatisfied or uncomfortable with traditional molding methods • People who are looking for better dental function and beauty Who should consult a doctor before digital implants? People with certain diseases such as uncontrolled diabetes or immune system problems, smokers (because the chance of implant success is reduced), those who do not have enough bone mass and need a bone graft, and pregnant women. Suitable candidates for conventional implants **For whom is the implant suitable?** Earlier, we discussed suitable candidates for digital implants. But in the following, we will discuss the normal implant candidate and explain about it: • People who do not have the desire or ability to use digital technology or have limited access to it. • People who have less budget. • People who have no problem with surgery and traditional molding. • People whose health conditions allow implant surgery. Care after dental implant In the following, we will compare care after digital implants with conventional ones. Conventional and digital implant care are not much different from each other, and post-surgery care is similar. In the following, we will discuss the necessary care for dental implants: ### • Bleeding control After surgery, a dressing (sterile gauze) is placed on the surgical area, which should be kept by the patient for at least 30 to 60 minutes with gentle pressure. If bleeding continues, new sterile gauze can be used and re-bitten. Avoid strong mouth washing, spitting and sucking in the first 24 hours. ### • Reduce swelling and pain Using a cold compress (ice bag wrapped in cloth) in the first 24 hours helps to reduce inflammation and swelling. Anti-inflammatory drugs and painkillers prescribed by the doctor should be taken as directed. ### • Compliance with oral and dental hygiene Brushing other areas of the mouth is safe from the first day, but the operation area must be cleaned carefully. From the second day, rinse the mouth with an antiseptic mouthwash (such as chlorhexidine) as prescribed by the doctor. Do not use mouthwash solutions without specialist prescription. ### • Avoiding smoking and alcohol Smoking (cigarettes, hookah) and drinking alcoholic beverages are prohibited until a few weeks after the operation. Because it greatly increases the probability of treatment failure and disrupts the healing process. ### • Physical activities Vigorous physical activities, heavy sports or heavy lifting are prohibited for 3 to 5 days. Relative rest and avoiding stress will be effective in the healing process.
