Ankylos Dental Implant System - for Which Cases are Implants Suitable?

Darko Macan

Abstract

The target for every prosthodontic treatment - due to tooth decay or tooth loss was and is, to construct and simulate the natural dentition as close as possible. Decreasing the number of teeth means increasing difficulties to achieve such a target. It is often impossible to achieve perfect function with dentures over a long period because of permanent soft tissue and bone changes. By then, the denture
does not fit any more and has lost its retention. Tooth implants can be the favourable solution in most of these cases.
Ankylos implants are manufactured from biologically neutral pure Titanium and they have a rogh surface. The special design ensures excellent anchorage even immediately after implantation ( primary stability) and the protection of the jaw bone under chewing pressure.
For which cases are implants suitable? This depends very much on the situation. We will show you a few examples when it is suitabel to use on implant as a solution to conventional prostheses. If a single tooth is to be replaced; if teeth are missing on the end of the arch in either the upper or lower jaw; if there are large gaps between the
few remaining teeth, and if there are no more teeth remaining.
