The implant itself is not the purpose of the therapy, but it enables the provision of prosthetic restoration for lost teeth. As with natural teeth and implants, crowns, bridges and prostheses (carried by implants) can be made. 

Crowns and bridges on implants are fixed works, that is, the patient cannot get them out of the mouth, so they provide significant comfort and confidence to the patient. By type of material they can be metal-ceramic and non-metallic. A big difference is in the binding of crowns to the implant:

  • The screw-connected crowns are a much better solution, as there is no danger of excess cement. Also, a dentist can always unscrew the crown and thus provide access to the implant, if necessary.
  • Cemented crowns, a less suitable solution due to the danger of excess cement that causes the most significant complication in implant-periimplantitis. Furthermore, such compensation cannot be removed from the implant and restored, as opposed to the screw-connected crowns. On the other hand, in some situations, these crowns are aesthetically superior.

Periimplantitis

The most common complication of implant therapy is a pathological process similar to periodontal disease in natural teeth. Implants create deposits as in the teeth, and if they are not cleaned they regularly come to gingivitis (periimplatative mucositis), when the gums around the implants become more or less swollen, red and bleeding. At this stage, the problem is simply solved by removing deposits. However, if the patient does not respond and the deposits are not removed (and does not improve oral hygiene), the bone is also affected in the future. Periimplantitis represents the breakdown of the bone around the implants, whose stability weakens. If treatment is not started on time, implant loss may occur. Precisely for the purpose of prophylaxis of periimplantitis, great attention should be paid to oral hygiene. 

Treatment is carried out on several levels: 

  • Mechanical cleaning of the tissue around the implants, special curettes, to remove the pathologically altered soft tissue;
  • Using Helbo Laser (Photodynamic Therapy), which destroys the pathogenic microorganisms responsible for periimplantitis;
  • Augmentative techniques, if necessary bone substitutes and PRF;
  • Antibiotic therapy.
