What is dental implant adhesive?

Dental implant adhesive is a material that is used to connect the dental implant to the veneer. This glue is made of special materials and helps the implant stay in place effectively and stably and does not slip. The other name of the dental adhesive is "cement" and it can be used to fill the gap between the abutment and the veneer and also to connect them in the implant process. Dental implant adhesive is produced in different types and qualities, which we will discuss further.

Dental implant adhesive features

Dental implant adhesive has special features that make it used to connect implants and dental veneers Among the features of dental implant glue, the following should be mentioned: **High adhesion strength:** Dental implant adhesive has high adhesion to effectively adhere to the surface of the implant and cover and prevent them from moving or shifting. **High resistance:** Dental implant adhesive has high resistance to pressure and force. This glue has the ability to withstand high pressure and forces during chewing and other oral activities, and this helps the longevity of the implant. **Strength and long-term stability:** Dental implant adhesive has high resistance in different conditions such as changes in temperature and humidity in the mouth and does not deteriorate over time. **Easy to use:** Implant adhesives are very easy for dentists to use, and this is why they are widely used. **Reasonable cost:** Dental implant glue has a more reasonable price than other implant grafting methods. **More beauty:** Since the use of glue prevents the screws from being placed in the cavities of the teeth, the beauty of the teeth will be maintained and the person will feel better.

Types of dental implant cover adhesive

Among the best types of implant cover glue in the market, the following can be mentioned: ### resin implant coating adhesive One of the most popular types of implant adhesives are resin adhesives that have high strength and adhesive strength. This glue is used to connect the dental implant cover. These adhesives consist of two main parts that are activated when mixed with each other and gain adhesive strength. Resin adhesives have a variety of colors, and this allows the dentist to use a color that matches the color of the tooth. These adhesives also prevent the penetration of bacteria under the coating due to their sealing properties. ### Glass ionomer implant coating adhesive Glass ionomer adhesive consists of materials compatible with oral tissues and prevents tooth decay around the veneer due to the release of fluoride. These adhesives are used when relatively moderate adhesion is required. Other features of this glue include its proper and strong adhesion to teeth and the ability to reduce tooth sensitivity. This glue is used in most cases to connect metal coatings. ### Zinc phosphate implant coating glue Zinc phosphate coating glue consists of zinc phosphate powder and phosphoric acid liquid and is considered one of the best types of implant coating glue. This adhesive is known as one of the oldest types of restorative dental adhesives and is still used to connect implant veneers to teeth. Although the strength of this glue is relatively good and its price is reasonable; But its adhesion is somewhat less than the types of resin implant glue. This glue is mostly used for temporary coating. ### Silicone implant cover glue This adhesive is known for its high flexibility and ease of use, among the types of dental implant adhesives. These adhesives can be removed from the tooth if needed without causing any damage to the implant or veneer. Also, this glue is mostly used in situations where greater compatibility with the gums and less sensitivity is required. The use of this adhesive is mostly in cases where the implant cover and the condition of the mouth and teeth below it require periodic checks.

The characteristics of the best dental implant adhesive

Among the features of the best dental veneer adhesive, the following should be mentioned: - Biocompatibility with oral tissues - Having strong and lasting adhesion - Resistance to dissolution by saliva and other oral fluids - Suitable sealing ability to prevent the penetration of bacteria - Creating strong adhesion but at the same time being removable - Having enough strength during chewing and pressures applied to the teeth

Complications related to dental implant adhesive

Otherwise, the following complications may be seen in some people: ### Allergic reaction Some people may be allergic to the components of the implant adhesive. This sensitivity can show itself in the form of redness, swelling, itching or inflammation in the area around the implant. ### Infection If the glue is not used correctly or if the tissue around the implant is damaged, an infection may occur. This infection can damage the bone and gum tissue or cause the implant to recede. ### Lack of proper adhesion If the glue is not properly attached to the implant or the jaw bone, there is a possibility of the implant moving or its instability. This problem can cause pain, discomfort or loss of the implant. ### Accumulation of adhesive material in the implant area In some cases, the adhesive material may accumulate around the implant in an unwanted way. This issue can cause problems such as sensitivity, inflammation and disruption in the healing process. ### Bad breath In case of improper use of glue, there is a possibility of accumulation of mass and plaque in the addition of glue, which can cause infection and bad breath.

Is it better to use implant cover glue or implant screw?

As mentioned, the implant cover can be attached with screws or glue. It may be a question for many people which of these methods are more effective and recommended. In response, it should be said that each of these methods has its own advantages and disadvantages. The use of screws provides more flexibility and can be easily adjusted if the implant is not in the desired alignment. This point does not apply to the connection of the dental cover with glue to the implant. In this method, if for some reason it is necessary to remove the coating, it will be very difficult. For example, if the dental veneer is cracked or broken, the dentist must remove the veneer with great delicacy and sensitivity, which is very difficult. On the other hand, since the adhesive under the coating is in contact with the tissues, it may cause complications during which the implant treatment fails.
