Place definition for implant setting

At this stage doctor should choose the most suitable location for the implant. It should be done by considering the following factors:

It has already been defined in the earlier stages.

It is generally accepted that the quality of bone is a key factor in the success implantation, but objectively it is quite difficult to describe. This is a combination of volume, density and x-ray structure. The two most common bone quality assessment systems are classification by Lekholm and Zarb, Howell and Sawood.

They have been described in previous articles.

A choice of prosthesis design depends on the availability of conditions for its installation, contour of the alveolar ridge, the need for an implant just below the crown and the opportunity to make prosthesis with artificial basis. The possibility of installing the prosthesis and its aesthetic parameters affect the contours of the alveolar ridge, the localization of the implant and vestibulooral mesiodistal directions, the location of the implant and the potential possibility of non-physiological masticatory loadings coming.

Since excessive mechanical load is a key moment in the implantation failures, it is necessary to calculate the coming occlusal loadings. Having both distal and lateral cantilevers can cause excessive force on the superstructure. By using one or two implants potential appearing axis of rotation but this can be avoided by using the three implant mounted at a distance from each other.

Implantation process requires special equipment, supplies and relevant training physician. The patient should be agreed with the approximate cost of the treatment.
