Smoking and Dental mplants

Dr. Irfan Atcha is offering an innovative procedure—one that does not involve bone transplants—to end the struggles of chronic denture patients. The procedure, which utilizes Zygomatic dental implants, will provide new teeth to patients who could not wear implant-supported teeth on their upper jaw due to the lack of supportive bone. According to Dr. Atcha, these new alternatives allow him to fabricate either a removable or fixed implant-supported set of teeth.

Subsequent a symposium held at McGill University in 2002, a panel of experts prepared the following statement: (the evidence currently available suggests that the restoration of the edentulous mandible with a conventional denture is no longer the most appropriate first choice prosthodontic treatment. There is now overwhelming evidence that a two-implant overdenture should become the first choice of treatment for the edentulous mandible) .Moreover, empirical studies have reported

This first article provides an introduction to the topic by discussing the general and oral health statistics relating to smokers as compared with non-smokers. The second article provides some recommendations for those addicted to tobacco-smoking and the third addresses some of the questions dentists in Arlington Texas are frequently asked about oral health and

The implant-retained overdenture is a treatment option for edentulous patients in the following situations: poorly retained and unstable mandibular dentures, poor bone quality or insufficient available bone to accommodate 4 or more implants, as the original Branemark protocol suggests, and to aid patients with financial constraints. When compared to the fixed implant-supported restoration, the removable implant-retained overdenture offers several advantages including enhanced access for oral hygiene, easy modification of prosthesis base, and the provision of a labial flange to improve esthetics in situations of unfavorable jaw relationship.

Restorative Dentistry services include dentures and implants. The dentistry involves prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of oral diseases. Dentures, commonly referred to as false teeth, are used to replace missing teeth on the dental structure. A dental implant is a tooth root surgically placed into the jawbone. It allows dentists to mount Replacement Bridge or a tooth into the area. An implant is firm and doesn't come loose like the denture. Dentures and implants improve the look, speech of the patient, and chewing

In the last few decades, Science has discovered many fascinating discoveries which has increased life expectancy and have made human lives less painful. One of the brilliant discoveries has been being able to renovate human body parts. However, all of these great techniques and methods to “repair” human body parts also have the side effects. The greatest example would be dental implantation which brings back the ‘taste’ in many lives. While reading the article, “Prevalence and Predictive Factors for Peri-Implant Disease and Implant Failure: A Cross-Sectional Analysis”, I learned that dental implantation is also causing the disease called “Peri-implant” which cause discomfort, negative impact on health and may lead to loss of the implant.

Two possible topics for my report are the effects of smoking on teeth and the controversy between early orthodontic treatments vs. late orthodontic treatment. For the effects of smoking on teeth I could include the many different medical problems and fatal diseases it may cause, and for the controversy between early vs. late orthodontic treatment I could include the pros and cons. I will also possibly be going into specifics on why this is such a controversial

We can help. Our dental implants are a great way to replace missing teeth. Dental implants restore almost 100 percent of your natural chewing ability and will last for 25 years or longer. They are our most reliable dental restoration and can help you get back to living your life.

Dentures are an option for individuals who are missing most or all of their teeth. However, numerous problems have been linked to dentures. When a person is missing one or more teeth, bone loss becomes a concern, and dentures often slip. This interferes with the person's ability to eat and speak properly. Thankfully, there is a new option known as teeth-in-a-day that people are benefiting from. Similar to dental implants that replace one failing or missing tooth, all-on-4 implants replace multiple teeth and allow a person to have a natural smile once again and regain their ability to eat and speak without difficulty.

Cigarette smoking not only has a negative effect on respiratory and cardiovascular health, but also has been associated with diabetes, gastrointestinal and thyroid diseases, and almost every other organ system in the body (Johnson & Guthmiller, 2007). Linked to various cancers, smoking is extremely detrimental (Johnson & Guthmiller, 2007). Smoking is also “the major risk factor for periodontitis” (Preshaw et al, 2015). While increasing the prevalence of periodontitis, smoking also has a profound effect on the severity of periodontal disease in individuals (Preshaw et al, 2015). The third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III) in 2000 found that “41.9% of periodontitis cases in the United States were attributable to current cigarette smoking” (Tomar & Asma, 2000). Smokers have a four times greater chance to be diagnosed with periodontitis (Johnson & Guthmiller, 2007). Indeed, patients who are smokers also do not appear to respond as favourably to periodontal treatment and show a greater risk of refractory and/or recurrent periodontal disease (Fardal, 2008). Multiple studies show that smoking has the potential to alter numerous processes in the oral cavity (Preshaw et al, 2015). Most notably, smoking has been shown to modify various aspects of physiology in patients, impair immunological response and alter the microflora of the oral cavity (Presahaw et al, 2015).

Hookah smoking has become a new fixation in our society. It is considered acceptable socially, practiced by many who don’t view it as harming their health. The availability of hookah is rather alarming and people of all ages, races, and religions are participating. There have not been many studies completed on the link between hookah and periodontal disease, but we have known there to be a correlation in cigarette smokers and periodontal disease for years. I will provide information comparing the effects of hookah with cigarettes, in an attempt to demonstrate how hookah use is as harmful on the periodontium as cigarette use.

Mechanical load and stress distribution are directly related to the longevity of implants and to peri-implant bone loss1. In the osseointegrated dental implant, occlusal loads are transmitted directly to the surrounding bones. When overloading happens, high deformations (above 2000–3000 microstrain) occur in the bone around the implants. When pathological overloading occurs (over 4000 microstrain), stress and strain gradients exceed the physiological limits of the bone, which may cause micro-fractures at the bone–implant interface, fracture of the implant, loosening of components of the implant system, and unwanted bone resorption2. Bending moments resulting from non-axial overloading of dental implants may cause stress concentrations

Dental providers are seeing more patients with implant supported prostheses during maintenance therapy. This trend is only going to increase in the future as more dentists are offering implant therapies in their practices and more patients are keen to accept implant therapy than a conventional fixed partial denture or removable partial denture. Routine maintenance therapy is crucial for preserving the peri-implant health.

According to the World Health Organization, tooth loss is a form of disability and handicap (WHO 2001), characterized by the lack of ability to perform daily tasks, such as eating and speaking, and the reduction of social contact, because of the impaired esthetics. This disability has important adverse effects on different aspects of quality of life. When evaluating treatment options, variables such as survival rate and longevity, and frequency of complications have been regarded as the most important outcomes for clinicians; however, the social and psychological impacts of treatment, and the patient’s perceptions of their oral health are as important . In literature, the clinical outcomes of implant care have been reported mostly in terms of implant survival and success rates. , and very little attention has been given to patient-centered assessments of the outcome of implant care. This seems to change today, with a paradigm shift taking place within health care to patient-centered care. Research is focusing more and more in the assessment of oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), and the impact of clinical procedures on oral health status.

Smoking cigarettes is very injurious to one’s health. It has many negative effects on a person’s life. Cigarettes have a lot of chemicals in which half of them cause cancer. Also, smoking harms every part of the body and is the main cause of lung cancer. Smoking affects many parts of the body like the immune system, bones, heart, blood vessels, vision, breathing, and the lungs. For example the immune system is the body’s way of protecting itself from diseases and infections which means by smoking it makes one have respiratory infections. It causes a smoker to have diabetes and therefore a person has a higher rate of having type 2 diabetes.
