Immediate load dental implant technology has been available for a few years now and has become extablished as an extremely popular procedure with dental practices that offer leading edge technologies.
Old Problems - New Solutions by Nobel Biocare
Immediate load or same day implants have been the procedure of choice by discriminating patients who seek near perfection in the replacement of teeth that assures optimal dental function and a natural appearing cosmetic result.
Becoming a candidate for same-day-implants requires however optimal bone structures of the maxilla (upper jaw) and mandible (lower jaw). When bone structures are ample, the implant devices integrate extremely well, offering the long term endurance that is unsurpassed by other procedures.
A popular treatment for deficient or inadequate bone structures is the use of bone grafts. This procedure nonetheless can forestall the final placement of implants because integration must take place between old bone and the newer bone graft material. The graft material itself may be natural or synthetic.... each having different properties that best suit a particular patient need. Unfortunately, bone grafts can fail for a variety of reasons that are impossible to predict. In some instances, bone grafting is sometimes sought as a procedure of "hope" by patients. Some succeed... while others fail.
CAT Scan Science and Modern Dentistry

At our clinics, Nobel Biocare has incorpated the magic f CAT Scans (Computed Axial Tomography) and biomedical engineering in the dental sciences that accurately assesses the condition and overall integrity of the jaw structure and maps out the areas of best integrity. |

These CAT Scans totally eliminate the guess work ondetermining what parts of the jaw bone offer the best sites for implant placement. Many doctors however don't possess the techology to accurately drill into an implant site, thereby creating, in some situations, cantilevered implants. The restoration process, or placement of the crown, can accommodate an angled implant... but the implant may cause other oral health problems later. To overcome the possibility of creating a poor placement, Nobel Biocare has created a CAD/CAM engineered device called the NobelGuide? that is created from the primary CAT |
