Zirconium implants for patients with titanium sensitivity in chennai, India

                     A 42 year old female patient from Bangalore approached us with a complaint of shaking tooth supported bridge which was done 9 years back in a private clinic in Bangalore and few root canal treated teeth without crowns. 

  • During the initial few months of treatment, patient was comfortable with the tooth supported bridge, then after she started to notice that the bridge was shaking and food getting stucked between the bridge and the gum which gave pain both in her gums and teeth as well. 
  • As days goes on the pain got worsen and the gums surrounding the teeth was infected. Also the patient complaints  of gummy smile on left side because of which the patient was hiding her smile for years. Patient wanted to correct her smile and wants a fixed permanent teeth with dental implants in 3 days  at affordable cost and finally approached us.


 ON CLINICAL EXAMINATION 
                  Tooth supported bridge was mobile, few dislodged crowns of root canal treated teeth. Digital documentation was done which shows left lateral gummy smile.



RADIOGRAPHIC EXAMINATION 
                      Radiographs revealed there was a fracture present between the crown and the roots of tooth supported crowns, all the root canal treated teeth sounded good and the bone quality was good for dental implant placement.



TREATMENT PLAN DISCUSSION 
                   After complete clinical and radiographic examination, treatment plan was discussed with patient to remove the tooth supported bridge and extraction of 1st infected teeth alone and replacing it with zirconium dental implants under local anesthesia(STA-painless injection) followed by digital scanning and giving  tooth and implant supported crowns the very next day. And to follow postoperative followup instructions.

                          The entire zirconium dental implant placement procedure was done under local anesthesia (STA- computerised painless injection technique) and 3D digital scanning for crowns was done on the same day of implant surgery.
