This form of implant treatment is referred to as a full mouth implant and a full jaw implant. All implant treatments are performed to eliminate various oral and dental health problems experienced by patients. Full-mouth implants are also used in patients who have lost all their teeth for some reason or are about to lose them despite all treatments.
A full mouth implant is usually applied to solve the problems experienced by patients using removable prostheses or who do not have enough teeth to chew normally. Those who have full mouth implant treatment also get rid of extremely important psychological problems.
Patients who have no teeth left in their mouths or who use removable dentures feel psychologically uneasy due to this situation. They live with many concerns such as whether their prostheses are constantly dislodged, or falling out, and whether their appearance is aesthetic. The full-mouth implant treatment also eliminates such problems that those around them are not very aware of.
The dream of every patient using removable dentures is to have fixed teeth as before. Of course, it is not possible to replace lost teeth. This dream is only possible with full mouth implant treatment. With implant treatment in full edentulous mouths, especially for elderly patients, realizing this dream will be a source of joy for them and make them feel more valuable.
If you have the idea of getting rid of similar problems and having permanent teeth as in your dreams, we are waiting for you in our clinic.
What is Full Mouth Implant Treatment?
A full mouth implant treatment is a form of treatment whose preference rate has been steadily increasing in our country for the last twenty years. It is a reliable implant treatment that patients who have lost all their teeth in their mouth due to accidents, health reasons, or age have started to prefer instead of classical prostheses. Full mouth implant treatment offers a strong chewing ability as well as an aesthetic appearance compared to removable dentures.
As we have mentioned in detail in implant treatment, similarly in full mouth implant, it is a form of treatment realized by fixing a certain number of dental implants obtained from titanium to the jawbone. The fixed implants form a very solid base in the jawbone. Porcelain or zirconium prostheses produced according to the patient's request are placed on these implants, which replace the tooth root.
In this treatment, the volume of the jawbone, determined by measurements of its height and width, must be sufficient. For this reason, it should not be too late for successful implant treatment in completely edentulous mouths. The jawbone maintains its vitality with the tooth roots on it.
Patients who have used removable prostheses for many years or have not used removable prostheses for many years but have somehow remained toothless may experience bone loss because the jawbone is not stimulated. However, jawbone loss may also occur due to bone resorption disease. Patients who want to have full mouth implant treatment should find out whether their jaw bones are suitable for this treatment with the help of a specialist physician.
In cases where the jawbone is insufficient in full mouth implant treatments, solutions can also be offered with treatments such as grafting (bone powder treatment) or sinus lift (sinus lift treatment). Since these treatments require special training and experience, it is beneficial to get help from a specialist physician.
How is Full Mouth Implant Treatment Performed?
-
Examination phase:Firstly, the dentist gets
information about the patient's current health
status and complaints. At this time, previous dental
and prosthetic treatments are learned. If there are
already oral diseases to be treated or teeth to be
extracted before full mouth implant treatment, they
are determined and necessary procedures are
performed. Then the patient's jawbone is examined by
radiologic and three-dimensional tomography methods.
Three-dimensional height and width measurements of
the jawbone are made with precision.
These measurements are very important to determine whether there is enough bone volume for the implant. If there is sufficient bone density, it is decided how many implants are required. The prosthesis design is made according to the patient's upper and lower jaw measurements, the porcelain or zirconium material to be used is determined and the measurements are sent to the laboratory. - Implant placement: Local anesthesia is given to prevent the patient from feeling pain during the surgical operation. If needed, general anesthesia can also be applied under the control of an anesthesiologist. The gums are opened appropriately and a determined number of implants are placed in the jawbone. The gums are joined with sutures and the healing process is expected. This process will be short for the gums, the stitches will be removed by your doctor after about a week. The adaptation process of the implants with the jawbone takes about 3 months.
- After the implants are fused to the jawbone, the patient who comes to the appointment is placed on the implants using intermediate elements called abutments on the implants that have been fixed. Depending on the type of these prostheses, the placement process is done by gluing, screwing, snapping, or bar system. If the whole mouth implant prosthesis is approved after the control of the patient and the physician, a new life begins for our patient.
What are the Types of Full Mouth Implant Prostheses?
Full mouth implant prostheses are used by placing them on the implants placed in the jawbone according to the condition of the case. There are different types of the prosthesis according to the application method. We can classify full-mouth prostheses on implants as follows:
- Fixed Prostheses: These implant prostheses are fixed on the implants placed in the jawbone by the physician by gluing or using screws. If it is fixed using screws, it is covered with aesthetic filling so that the screws are not visible. These prostheses cannot be removed by the patient for cleaning or any other purpose but can be removed by the physician in the clinical environment for control or maintenance purposes. These fixed prostheses offer the healthiest result in terms of use.
-
Removable Dentures: Among all oral implant
prostheses, we can divide the ones with removable
features into two.
a) Snap dentures: These are the prostheses that can be attached and removed with the snap logic thanks to the parts attached to the implant and the prosthesis in an interlocking manner.
b) Bar prostheses: A metal bar in the form of a bridge is fixed on the implants placed in the jawbone, and the prosthesis, which has a channel compatible with this bar, is attached to this bar. This prosthesis has a more robust support system than a snap prosthesis. Bar prostheses can also be removed and inserted at any time.
Although both types of removable prostheses are more robust than classical removable prostheses, the most reliable are fixed prostheses on implants.
What are the Alternative Treatments to Full Jaw Implant?
All-on-Four and All-on-Six dental implant treatments can be shown as alternatives to full jaw implant treatment. Full jaw implant- full mouth implant treatment is performed using an average of eight implants if there is sufficient jawbone volume or if it can be obtained with the treatments to be applied and if it allows the prostheses to be used robustly.
Other implant treatments can also be applied as long as the jawbone allows. In All-on-Four implant treatment, the prosthesis is applied to the jawbone using four implants at certain intervals and angles. In All-on-Six implant treatment, prosthesis is applied to the jawbone using six implants at certain intervals and angles. Which of these treatments will be suitable for the patient should be decided by the specialist physician.
