What are active dental implants?

Active implants are unique dental implants that allow the doctors to extract the teeth and perform an immediate surgical placement of the implant on the same sitting, providing the patient with immediate prosthesis which is functionally and aesthetically acceptable. Popular for their unique design, active implants provide high primary stability and improved aesthetics.

The design:

It has expanding tapered implant body which fuses with the bone easily.  At the apex, it is incorporated with drilling blades and reverse cutting flutes that ensures minimal trauma and maximum conservation of the bone. Hence usable even in cases where bone density is compromised. Drilling blades also makes the orientation and manual insertion of the implant easier for optimal placement. Back-tapered coronal design provides maximum bone volume and improves soft tissue support, which in turn provides better aesthetics.

These implants can be placed in narrow spaces also, where conventional implants could not be placed. There have been claims that healing is faster when active implants are used

HOW IS HORMONAL IMBALANCE LINKED WITH GUM DISEASE?

Gum disease can occur at any age but is more profound in middle age, especially in women. Hormonal imbalance is one of the factors that cause receding gum line. As aging of the teeth occur, it affects the surrounding gum tissue causing recession of the gums. This is aggravated during menopause. A number of studies indicate relation between fluctuating estrogen levels and oral health. Hormonal fluctuation leads to inflammation of the gingival/ gum tissue. Low estrogen levels cause weakening of jawbones and teeth, leading to gum recession. Bleeding gums also occur due to hormonal imbalance along with a compromised immunity, as estrogen hormone regulates our immune system.

What approaches are to be taken in order to assuage the deterioration of oral health?

A modification in your lifestyle is important for healthy oral tissues. A balanced diet, intake of calcium consisting foods and foods consisting vitamin A and Vitamin C is essential. Calcium leads to a healthy jawbone and vitamin C renders an efficient immune system, leading to reduced gum inflammation and recession as well as an ability to fight the oral bacteria causing deterioration of the oral health. Hormone regulating supplements could be taken. In case of aggressive gum disease due to hormonal imbalance, Hormonal Replacement Therapy could be the last resort. The most important approach is maintain an exceptional oral hygiene, visit the dentist for a regular cleaning because greater the accumulation of tartar, greater the recession.

HOW CAN DEVELOPMENTAL GROWTH ABNORMALITY OF THE JAWS BE CORRECTED?

Corrective jaw surgery, also known as the Orthognathic Surgery is the surgical procedure for correction of dental and skeletal abnormalities. In cases where orthodontic treatment or braces treatment would not suffice, orthognathic surgery has to be undertaken. A multidisciplinary team is crucial for satisfactory outcomes. An Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon, an Orthodontist and in many cases, a speech therapist might be required. Jaw surgery is required when there is excess upper jaw or lower jaw growth and protrusion, temporomandibular joint pathology, receded chin, cleft palate cases, wherein malocclusion is present but orthodontic / braces treatment would not suffice as the discrepancies are skeletal along with dental. The skeletal discrepancies might cause difficulty in chewing, swallowing, wear of teeth, unaesthetic facial appearance and/or excessive straining of the jaw muscles resulting in pain.

What is the procedure?

A thorough pre operative clinical and radiological evaluation including photographs is to be done. The surgery is performed under General Anaesthesia. Excision of the jaw bone, known as osteotomy is performed using burs, chisels and/or piezoelectric saws. Cuts are made in the bone and repositioning of the jaw bone is done in desired alignment. Nasal intubation might be required. Jaw immobilization is done by the aid of wiring. Braces might be required before and after the treatment and retainers after the treatment to prevent relapse. Post operatively, a strict liquid diet has to be consumed. Healing occurs within 2-6 weeks depending on the type of orthognathic surgery, wherein bone remodelling takes place. Follow up visits are to be done.
