وقتی تعداد زیادی از دندانها در یک فک از بین برود یا بیمار کاملا بیدندان شود، دیگر کاشتهای تکی پاسخگو نیستند. In these cases, a full upper or lower jaw implant with the help of a few titanium bases and a complete prosthesis can restore the normal function of the mouth.
This method is suitable for people who are not satisfied with removable dentures, have difficulty chewing, or are looking for a permanent and more natural solution. In the rest of this article, you will get to know the differences between upper and lower jaw implants, available treatment methods, advantages and disadvantages.
What is a full upper and lower jaw implant and who needs it?
From a technical point of view, there are differences between upper jaw implants and lower jaw implants; But these differences are more related to the bone structure and its position and do not make a significant difference in the treatment experience for the patient.
In the upper jaw, especially in the back (posterior) areas, proximity to the sinuses and less bone density may require bone grafting or sinus lift surgery. On the contrary, in the lower jaw, the presence of the lower jaw nerve is one of the points that must be taken into account when planning surgery.
These differences, although important for the surgeon; But the treatment process, the duration of implant welding and the final result for the patient are similar in both jaws. Therefore, from the patient's point of view, the difference between upper and lower dental implants cannot be recognized in practice, and the overall experience will be almost the same.
In full jaw or lower jaw treatments, the goal is to restore all teeth using a limited number of implant abutments. There are different methods for this, which are chosen depending on the bone conditions, the patient's budget and the dentist's preference. class="ez-toc-section-end">
In these methods, 4 or 6 implants are placed in the jaw and a complete prosthesis is mounted on them. These techniques are suitable for patients who are looking for a fixed prosthesis without moving teeth. All-on-6 is preferred in many cases due to higher stability.
If the bone conditions are suitable, the implant bases can be placed and a temporary prosthesis installed at the same time as the teeth are extracted. In this method, the patient maintains the natural appearance of his mouth without going through the edentulous period. Of course, the installation of the final prosthesis is done after complete welding.
In this method, artificial teeth are kept fixed in the jaw with the help of 2 to 4 implants. This option is suitable for people who do not have enough bone in all areas or whose budget is limited for full treatment. The cost of the implant in this method is lower and its installation and maintenance is easier.
