Restoration of teeth during periodontitis: when the roots are exposed and the teeth are mobile and fall out

Is it possible to insert implants with periodontal disease? Yes, but the disease is first treated, which can take quite a long period of time, depending on the stage of periodontal disease. Moreover, in advanced forms of the disease, saving your teeth is almost impossible, and implantation is the only possible option.

The answer to the question whether implantation is possible for periodontal disease is clearly positive. But each case is individual and a correspondence consultation is not enough.

What are the dangers of periodontitis and periodontal disease for a patient?

• inflammation of the ligaments of the teeth and nearby bone tissue,
• formation of voluminous gum pockets,
• loss or contraction of the gums, as a result - exposure of the roots of the teeth, which is fraught with increased sensitivity and an increased risk of developing caries,
• accumulation of a large amount of dental plaque,
• bad breath due to rotting food debris and plaque deep in the pockets,
• gum recession and root exposure,
• development of periodontitis - formation of cysts and granulomas on the roots of teeth,
• violation of the aesthetics of the dentition - due to the absence of teeth, changes in their shade and the appearance of gaps in the root area,
• mobility and loss of teeth.

But, unfortunately, inflammation is not limited to just one oral cavity. Periodontitis leads to many problems throughout the body - disruption of the gastrointestinal tract (which is logical, since along with food we swallow pathological microorganisms that are in the oral cavity), pathologies of the cardiovascular system and even kidneys! Read more in the article “The nature and dangers of periodontitis”

Just 10 years ago, periodontitis was an incurable disease. Medicine was unaware of methods for relieving inflammation and restoring periodontal ligaments to reduce the depth of periodontal pockets. All measures were aimed only at improving hygiene to stop the inflammatory process and slow down the progression of periodontitis. At the same time, the depth of the periodontal pocket did not decrease and, with poor hygiene, the disease took hold.

Pre-implantation preparation: what treatment is carried out for periodontal disease?

Preparation plays a key role in the success of implantation. Anamnesis is ascertained, since the disease often occurs with pathologies of the heart, lungs, and diabetes. Mandatory:

• Professional hygiene: removal of plaque and tartar.
• Treatment of periodontal tissues, which may include antibacterial therapy, the prescription of anti-inflammatory drugs and aniseptic mouth rinses.
• Conservative measures: vitamin therapy, massage that improves local blood circulation.
• Radical surgical measures necessary in advanced cases: cleansing and resection of the gum pocket, bone grafting.

The vicious circle of periodontitis with tooth loss

Natural teeth require periodontal ligaments and a sufficient amount of bone tissue to be attached to the dentition. The habitat of the pathogenic flora of periodontitis is located around the tooth and leads to the destruction of these ligaments, bone and, as a result, to tooth loss. But if there is no tooth, then there is no environment for the development of the disease.

At the same time, a violation of the integrity of the dentition contributes to the development of periodontitis, since without chewing load the bone in the area of ​​the missing tooth atrophies (decreases in volume), the neighboring teeth, under pressure and due to excessive load, “working for two”, gradually shift into the area of ​​empty space. Thus, gaps form between the teeth, periodontal ligaments stretch and weaken, periodontal pockets increase and the disease becomes aggressive.

Restoring lost teeth using traditional methods - bridges supported by your teeth or removable dentures - only aggravates the situation. Removable dentures do not transfer the load to the bone, but compact it even more. They are attached with clasps to adjacent teeth and, against the background of developing atrophy, lose their fixation and damage (rub) soft tissues when chewing.

Dental bridges require grinding of your own teeth to secure them - this is already harmful and a long-term death sentence. Bone atrophy in the area of ​​the missing tooth, which is camouflaged by the bridge crown, continues, the gums sag, microbes and food debris accumulate under the intermediate crown - the habitat of periodontitis. The supporting teeth shift and eventually the structure of the entire bridge breaks, and along with it the patient loses the supporting teeth.

In advanced stages, treatment of periodontitis, even using the latest treatment methods, is ineffective and sometimes the only way to stop the inflammatory process is to remove the affected mobile teeth, as the disease begins to seriously harm the entire body. Therefore, it is very important, when identifying a diagnosis, not to abandon the situation, but to begin to fight the disease immediately.

Implantation is the only effective way

Implants are screwed into the bone and do not require periodontal ligaments to secure them. The surface of the necks of special implants is resistant to the accumulation of microbes. Thus, dental implantation is the only effective way to restore teeth in conditions of periodontitis , but only if the disease is stopped . The patient gets rid of chronic periodontitis, the periodontal ligaments are restored, and the soft tissues are strengthened, remodeled and, with good hygiene, serve as a natural barrier to the penetration of infection into the bone.

The integrity of the dentition and proper distribution of the chewing load contributes to:

• stimulating blood circulation and normalizing nutrition of bone and gum cells,
• stops uneven distribution of chewing load and overload of teeth,
• prevents changes in bite and tooth mobility.

Implants should not be installed near teeth affected by periodontitis. If the remaining teeth, as the main source of “infection,” are left without complex therapy, then the development of infection will lead to an attack by pathogenic microflora on nearby implants and the soft tissue around them, and this will lead to complications and even rejection. Therefore, first of all, before implantation, you need to undergo a comprehensive course of periodontitis treatment and reduce the risks.

BE CAREFUL! Some unscrupulous and inexperienced doctors convince patients to place implants next to adjacent teeth affected by periodontitis, without informing them of the danger and essentially hoping for a “miracle.” Under no circumstances do this without simultaneous treatment and bringing periodontitis into a state of stable remission. Plus the realization that careful hygiene with this approach is very important in the future.

ON A NOTE! According to the American Association of Periodontists www.perio.org, the average age of a patient with periodontitis is 40+, 70% have implants in the oral cavity with developing complications.

With the development of microbiology and nanomaterials, drugs have been developed that not only stably stop the disease for many years, but also make it possible to restore the consequences of complex forms of periodontitis up to 80% in 1 year. Today, advanced dentistry has effective tools for preserving teeth. Smile recovery periodontal complexes are aimed initially at eliminating the environment for the development of the disease, and then enriching the affected areas with active growth factors to create a favorable environment for the natural regeneration of the patient’s cells and tissues.

Deep cleaning of periodontal pockets and 1-2 procedures will not stop the progression of the disease. Periodontitis is a multifaceted disease with an individual pathogenic flora for each patient and it must be treated accordingly, using a set of antibacterial and restorative measures, selected individually after a thorough study of microflora culture from periodontal pockets, drawing up a periodontogram, analyzing the state of bone tissue using computed tomography and additional blood tests.

Do you want to save your teeth and stop the disease? Smile recovery periodontal complexes that really work.

The importance of the preparatory stage

Before implantation, it is important to create favorable conditions for high-quality osseointegration of implants. Periodontitis is treated with systemic antibiotics, local antiseptics, and regeneration stimulants. For periodontal disease, drugs are used to improve trophism and blood circulation. After suppression of the acute inflammatory process and the onset of stable remission, the patient undergoes professional cleaning, and the doctor sets a date for implantation.

Stages of the preparatory period:

• Inspection. The patient comes for a consultation with an implantologist. The doctor examines the condition of the oral cavity and gives a referral to a periodontist.
• X-ray examination. X-rays or computed tomography allow you to evaluate the condition of the remaining teeth, quality, density, and bone volume.
• Laboratory examination. Includes blood tests. Patients are prescribed bacterial culture of the contents of the gum pockets to identify the causative agent of inflammation.
• Consultations and treatment from specialized specialists. After collecting an anamnesis, the patient is prescribed consultations with highly specialized doctors (immunologist, endocrinologist, gastroenterologist) to identify and eliminate the causes of periodontal trophic disorders.

Features of dental implantation for periodontitis

First of all, in order to save the remaining teeth, the patient must accept the fact that he needs to undergo a fairly long course of treatment, usually 1 year. After all, the periodontal and bone ligaments need to recover, and this is not a quick process. Simply placing implants for periodontitis is a bad idea, since the conditions are unfavorable:

• there is atrophy and loosening of bone tissue,
• implants are poorly fixed in the inflamed bone,
• after installation, implants are surrounded by inflamed tissue, which can lead to disruption of their fixation and subsequent rejection,
• bone growth is difficult - in the presence of inflammation, the grafted material may not take root.

The good news is that thanks to periodontal complexes under the supervision of a periodontist, it is possible to put early and moderate periodontitis (stages I and II) into a state of stable long-term remission while simultaneously restoring missing teeth. The bad news is for those who have been diagnosed with acute forms and advanced stages, when there is tooth loss or mobility - removing all teeth and replacing them with implants is the most effective option. If the initial situation allows you to combine the procedures, the implants will be installed simultaneously - in the sockets of the extracted teeth.

Periodontal disease, periodontitis: the implant is installed, how to care for it?

If dental implantation was performed for periodontitis, the disease may return. But relapses are easy to prevent - first of all, you need to brush your teeth regularly and thoroughly. It is highly advisable to purchase an irrigator.

It is important to quit smoking, since tobacco smoke slows down and disrupts metabolic processes in tissues and creates favorable conditions for the accumulation of food plaque.

But even if all the rules are followed, it is necessary to visit the periodontist at the recommended frequency, and take preventive and therapeutic courses if he prescribes them.

Thus, the main conditions for lifelong and comfortable wearing of implants are a competent, experienced doctor (surgeon, periodontist), an optimally selected implantation method and type of implants, as well as careful care for them.

Not all implants can be installed for periodontitis

In addition to therapy against periodontitis, it is important to choose the right implants. They must have high primary stability in the current unfavorable conditions and have a special coating to improve integration, both with the soft tissue of the gums and with various types of bone tissue. The surfaces of these implants at the level of contact with the gums have properties of resistance to the accumulation of microbes.

In the world, there are only 3 implantation systems, Nobel Biocare, Straumann, Oneway Biomed, which have been studied for more than 40 years, the implants of which take root and are not rejected in conditions of periodontitis. Naturally, provided that foci of infection are eliminated, complex treatment and rehabilitation of the affected tissues are completed.

Nobel Biocare® - Xeal® and TiUltra® Surfaces The intimate contact between the soft tissue and the abutment creates a barrier that protects the underlying bone and ensures long-term stability and healthy gum tissue.

It is a smooth, non-porous, nanostructured anodized surface with a chemical composition and topography designed specifically to enhance soft tissue attachment.

When developing these surfaces, scientists relied on 20 years of research into the effectiveness of anodized implants and laboratory results.

The single orthopedic surface of On1 eliminates the need for surgical manipulation of soft tissues during subsequent prosthetics.

The main objectives of these surfaces are to ensure a favorable outcome of implantation in the long term and reduce the incidence of re-implantitis.

More details

Straumann® Roxolid SlActive - Tissue Level Straumann® Tissue Levels have a smooth milled neck, which simplifies the manipulation of soft tissues and eliminates the need for the use of healing abutments during subsequent prosthetics. In the event of a slight recession of the soft tissue, the polished neck of the implant will protect the surface of the implant from the accumulation of microbes.

Nanostructures on the implant surface promote early osseointegration and a larger area of ​​bone penetration.

The SLActive® surface is characterized by an increased anti-inflammatory response during the early healing stage. The results of world studies have confirmed the exceptional survival rate of implants in difficult clinical situations and when using aggressive treatment protocols: in patients with diabetes mellitus, after chemotherapy and radiation therapy, in heavy smokers, in patients with chronic periodontitis.

More details

OneWay Biomed® - antimicrobial coating BCS MU and Zygomatic implants are one-piece structures designed for osteofixation in the deep parts of the maxillofacial bone and cranial buttresses. For example, the bicortical plate, basal bone, zygomatic region, jaw tubercles, hyoid and mental bones, pterygoid process, etc.

Such implants do not require integration with the alveolar bone of the jaw, since they are securely fixed in other, non-resorbable areas. Over time, the newly formed alveolar bone compacts around the implants, providing additional support.

The surface of the implants has an antimicrobial coating, which prevents plaque and bacteria from accumulating.

The implant and abutment are a single whole; after implantation, soft tissues are not subjected to additional surgical interventions at the prosthetic stage.

More details

In addition, it is important to minimize the number of surgical manipulations on soft tissues after implantation, therefore implants with a single orthopedic surface On1 installed at the soft tissue level are preferable. During subsequent prosthetics, the orthopedist does not injure the gums and does not create additional mechanical stress on the implant, essentially working “above the gum.” In addition, all components of the prosthesis must be bioinert, that is, not cause inflammatory reactions from surrounding tissues.

Recommendations for the postoperative period

• Regular thorough hygiene care
• Compliance with medical orders (taking medications)
• Compliance with recommendations regarding physical activity (minimize in the first three weeks after surgery)
• Quitting bad habits (smoking, alcohol, etc.)

Important: implantation for periodontal disease and periodontitis (even in remission) has increased risks. Therefore, failure to comply with the recommendations of the attending physician can lead to postoperative complications and, possibly, implant rejection.

Scenarios for tooth restoration against the background of periodontitis

Remember that affected teeth are a source of infection. It is on them, on their porous surface, that a huge number of pathogenic microorganisms accumulate. If implants with an active surface are placed next to such teeth, even the most resistant ones, which contain chemical elements that contribute to the healing of bone cells (such as SLA-Active from Straumann and Ti-Ultra from Nobel Biocare), they still will not are able to cope with a massive attack from all sides and bone tissue atrophy.

PARTIAL IMPLANTATION WITH REMAINING TEETH

• the depth of periodontal pockets is less than 8 millimeters,
• local foci of inflammation, swelling and itching are observed,
• mobility of teeth I and II degrees,
• bone quality type II and III,
• no suppuration and periodontal abscesses,
• teeth are in satisfactory condition,
• healing potential is medium to high.

EXTRACTION OF ALL TEETH AND COMPLEX IMPLANTATION

• teeth in the oral cavity are affected by diseases,
• there is degree III mobility of the remaining teeth,
• formation of deep periodontal pockets of more than 8 millimeters,
• purulent discharge from periodontal pockets,
• exposure of the neck of the teeth,
• abundant hard dental deposits,
• healing potential is low,
• severe atrophy of bone tissue.

Vladimir Ivanovich, 62 years old

“I had a difficult situation - there were almost no teeth left, it was painful, it was difficult to eat, there was constant psychological discomfort from these problems. I went to the clinic and everything was done quickly, professionally and competently! Incredible work and stunning results that are hard to believe. But he's real! Thanks to the doctors for my new life!”

• forget about bad breath
• communicate without hesitation
• refuse complex, lengthy and expensive treatment of periodontitis
• start living without constant visits to the dentist WITHOUT LIMITATIONS

On day 2-3, a fixed prosthesis with an elastic acrylic base is installed. It gently envelops the gums and does not cause pain at all, even in the presence of an inflammatory process. There remains a functional space between the base of the prosthesis and the gums, which allows for hygienic care, which is especially important in the presence of gum inflammation. In addition, a number of companies (for example, Oneway Biomed) are developing implants with a smooth polished neck and an antimicrobial coating, which prevents plaque accumulation in the presence of inflammatory processes in periodontal tissue2.

In addition to the presence of inflammation of periodontal tissues, women should also pay attention to the state of hormonal levels, and, if necessary, undergo additional examination by an endocrinologist. Read more about the features of dental implantation in women >>>

Basal implantation

Features of this method: rapid insertion of an elongated pin, sometimes at a certain angle, into the basal (deep) layer of bone.

Stages of basal implantation:

1. Computer modeling based on survey results and creation of a 3D model.
2. A thin deep puncture of the gums with a special instrument, which reduces the degree of trauma of the operation for patients with weakened gums.
3. Introduction of a metallic “root”.
4. Attaching the permanent prosthesis to the abutment 2-3 days after installing the pin.

After this operation, chewing loads are immediately recommended.

Implantation options for periodontitis

Basal implantation – BASAL COMPLEX

Complex basal implantation is the main and most optimal method, which is used in the presence of acute or chronic inflammation of periodontal tissue.
To restore all teeth, 8 to 12 implants are used, which are evenly distributed along the row. A large number of supports in the form of implants allows you to more reliably fix the prosthesis and significantly extend its service life, even in the presence of bone tissue atrophy, as well as inflammatory processes of periodontal tissue. A fixed prosthesis is installed on the 3rd day. Read more about basal implantation technology >>>

All-on-6 technology

Prosthetics on six implants for periodontitis and periodontal disease, along with basal implantation, is used quite often, since 6 supports to support the prosthesis are quite sufficient even in the presence of tissue inflammation and bone tissue atrophy (but of moderate degree). The denture is installed immediately (within up to 3 days), which allows the patient to return to a full life.

Learn more about the all-on-6 protocol >>>

All-on-4 technology

This protocol involves the use of only four implants for full dental prosthetics. Its use is justified in the presence of inflammation of the initial or middle stage, that is, with slight atrophy of bone tissue. For prosthetics of the upper jaw, it is possible to use elongated zygomatic implants. The prosthesis is installed on the 3rd day.

Learn more about the all-on-4 protocol >>>

Zygomatic implantation

Included in all comprehensive solutions for complete edentulism. This approach uses zygomatic implants, the length of which reaches 6 cm. They are installed only on the upper jaw and use the zygomatic bone, which is not subject to inflammatory processes, for fixation. The fixed prosthesis is fixed for 1-3 days.

Prices

Patients with periodontal problems require additional treatment before implantation: sanitation of the oral cavity, curettage, scaling, removal of loose teeth. Therefore, the total cost of implantation for periodontitis will be determined by the volume of preparatory procedures.

Disadvantages of implantation for periodontitis and periodontal disease

Dental implantation involves surgical intervention, which, against the background of the inflammatory process of periodontal tissues, can cause certain difficulties. In addition, even when using one-stage implantation methods, the risk of rejection of structures is still noticeably higher than when installing implants into healthy tissue. After the installation of implants, the patient himself must not only strictly follow all the doctor’s instructions, but also carefully carry out hygiene procedures: not only in the morning and evening, but also after each meal. This is extremely important to ensure that as little harmful bacteria as possible remain in the oral cavity, which will cause inflammation of periodontal tissue.

“Inflammatory processes of periodontal tissues, as a rule, spread throughout the entire dentition, so a comprehensive solution to the problem is required. For periodontitis and periodontal disease, the only possible solution is one-stage implantation with immediate loading. The method uses one-piece implants that are fixed in the deep layers of bone tissue. Such sections are not subject to either atrophy or inflammatory processes. That is why the installation of implants is possible when periodontal tissue is destroyed.”

Bespalov Roman Dmitrievich, maxillofacial surgeon, implantologist, work experience of more than 26 years make an appointment

Signs of the disease

The peculiarity of the clinical picture of incipient periodontal disease is painlessness. Only a dentist can recognize pathology at the initial stage of development based on subtle signs:

• gums become lighter (not inflamed);
• the volume of gingival tissue is reduced (the neck of the tooth and root are exposed);
• the height of the interdental septum decreases (visible on the x-ray).

A similar clinical picture is described for pathologies in hard dental tissues (wedge-shaped defects, abrasion of the enamel layer, erosion). Against the background of the development of periodontal disease, the patient is diagnosed with general diseases - atherosclerosis, diseases of the immune and metabolic systems.

Are alternatives possible?

In case of inflammation of periodontal tissue, two-stage implantation is not recommended due to the fact that implants with this approach are installed in the central part of the bone tissue, which is most susceptible to inflammatory processes. This means there is a high risk of developing complications and rejection of structures. It will also not be possible to install a dental bridge - there is a high probability that the teeth remaining in the oral cavity will begin to loosen after some time. This will lead to mobility of the bridge and breakdown of the entire system.

In case of partial edentia and at the same time mobile teeth that are in a relatively healthy condition, the problem can be solved by installing a clasp denture. It has a metal base, which will allow you to secure the position of loose teeth and at the same time provide prosthetics for lost ones.

If there is acute inflammation that extends to most or all of the dentition, you may consider installing a removable soft plastic denture. At least for the duration of the acute stage of inflammation.

Materials

Dental implants for periodontal disease can be made of titanium alloy - these are the models that are offered to patients in most cases. However, with inflammation or atrophy of the periodontium, the likelihood of allergic reactions increases, and even titanium sometimes causes them.

Today, implants made of zirconium dioxide are increasingly used in dental practice - this is the development of European scientists. They are made in Switzerland, Germany and the USA.

Important!

Zirconium roots are absolutely hypoallergenic.

Titanium implants are not placed in cases of hypersensitivity to certain metals and alloys, multiple allergies, or hay fever. They are used with caution in patients with psoriasis.
