In the past the insertion of titanium implants was associated with long and costly surgical procedures that require a series of cuts, many sessions and treatment that can last a year.The immediate loading implants has revolutionized this situation, reducing the fear of the trauma and anxiety of repeated checks, before having a prosthesis with fixed teeth, allowing patients a normal life since the time the plant. We have the opportunity to speak with Dr. Aldo Santomauro, dentist who is currently using this method.

Dr. Santomauro what it means to implant immediate load?

For the Anglo-Saxons the magic word that sums up the advantages and flap-less, ie without incisions. In Italian the translation is not literal, but meant that more can be assimilated to the English word surgery is "polite" no practice "cuts." The form of an implant has a screw cap and is the root of the artificial tooth. The insertion of titanium implants in the mandibular or maxillary bone with a small surgical procedure done in the same session of the extraction of compromised teeth and is generally very fast from 10 to 20 minutes, reducing to zero the time for replacement of the same.

The patient feels pain during and after surgery?

Absolutely not, because thanks to minimal trauma caused by this method of generation, the operation is performed under local anesthesia in the same manner as for a tooth extraction or a root canal of a tooth. E 'sufficient intake of common pain relievers that are commonly prescribed by your dentist after the extraction of a tooth, allowing the patient to return immediately to their social and working life is not without teeth.

What is the procedure?

The treatment can be summarized in the following steps:

• Examinations are conducted in a first diagnosis, the patient is made aware of the simplicity of the various phases of the technique and show photos, videos and explanatory models that bear witness to the reality - almost utopian - Power chew right away;
• the second visit are fingerprinted, do the photographs and panoramic radiography and possibly CT scan;
• In the third session we proceed to the extraction of compromised teeth, insertion of implants and the cementation of tooth immediate provisional fixed, previously made by a qualified laboratory in order to have a single run in a satisfactory prosthetic rehabilitation;
• after about three months, the provisional fixed prosthesis is replaced with the final ceramic, having now made the implant osseointegration.

Dr. Santomauro what are the advantages of this technique over traditional implantology?

• Less need to undergo more invasive and expensive surgery involving an incision of the gums, bone grafts, sinus lifts, etc.., With the ability to place implants with a minimally invasive technique in areas where there is bone and tilt in order to avoid anatomical structures "sensitive" such as the inferior alveolar nerve and maxillary sinus.
• Timing of treatment and rehabilitation with temporary teeth fixed the same day of surgery without waiting several months before you can use the facilities, with excellent cosmetic results and guarantees the success of 95-99%. The chances of failure are very low and may depend primarily by the insertion of implants in bone does not fit or an individual response is not favorable.
• Lowest cost to the patient by over 30%, providing an opportunity for more patients to benefit from this innovative technique and avoid involving teeth or use of the most annoying and sometimes unbearable prosthesis (so-called "false teeth").
