Looking to get a better understanding of what are dental implants? Watch this video to learn exactly how and why do dental implants (Osseointegration) work and visit read more of our blog for more dental implant tips. Dr. Parsa Zadeh explains the dental implants procedure and exactly why they work. Dr. Parsa Zadeh answers a series of important dental implant questions like:Why do Dental Implants Work?What did Dr. Branemark Discover with Dental Implantology?What does Osseointegration Mean?In this video, you will find discussion regarding why the human body does not see titanium as a threat and will not cause any reaction as it is biocompatible. The tendency of the human body is to be as efficient in recovery as possible and because of this it will typically not reject a dental implant with titanium. The body reacts to a titanium implant by filling up the remainder of the hole that was made during surgery. When an implant dentist drills a hole and places the implant, the body does not see the implant and will attempt to close the hole. Osseointegration occurs when bone cells grow into the smallest crevices of the implant surface. It is the job of a implant dentist to simulate how the human body adapts when attempting to close the hole. With a well informed implant dentist who has had proper dental implant education and the proper surgical equipment and system, there is virtually no risk for dental implant problems.If you are looking to learn more about dental implants, please subscribe to our channel and visit http://implantedu.org for more information.
Why do dental implants work?Why do the dental implants, why dental implants?What happened to Dr. What didDr. Branemark discover back 70 yearsago, 60 years ago, and dental implantologybecame you know the way it is today?Titanium is biocompatible andintegrates with the bone. That’s right.So what does integration mean? Anchor. How?By regrowth of the bone, you canstimulate the bone growth right aroundand hugging so to speak.Yeah, it doesn’t stimulate bone growth.Basically, the body does not see titaniumin this form, so you can call itbiocompatible because it’s not causingany reaction in the body or you can callit invisible to the body. So body, whenyou place the titanium in the bone thebone cells do not see the metal there, sothey keep growing as if you put likestainless steel it will be a foreign bodyreaction there’s going to beaccumulation of all the inflammatorycells and body tries to reject it.Whereas, when you place a titanium in thebone, there is no, there is no reactionand body does not see it. So the tendencyof the body and bone is to fill up holes.I mean if you make a drill a hole in thebone here and let it go what is thenormal reaction of the body? To fill thebone, right? Body doesn’t want a hole inmiddle of the bone so it fills it. Sowhen you drill a hole and put a implantin there. Body does not see the implant,so what does it try to do? Try to fillthat bone? Fill that hole, so as it’strying to fill the hole, mechanicallyit’s going to come across the titaniumstructure, it doesn’t see it, keeps goingand going until mechanically it cannotgo. So that’s the integral, that’sosseointegration when the bone cells growinto the smallest crevices of theimplant surface that is calledintegration.So the whole thing happens because bodydoes not see it and body wants to fillthe hole, that’s why it’s important. Whyis it important to notice because whenwe place our implant and where we placeour implant, we want to always simulatethe condition that body wants to fillthat hole. Body wants to take care of it.If for instance, body does not want togrow a bone like this over the side ofthe mandible, obviously if you put theimplant next to the mandible it’s notgoing to integrate because body doesn’twant to grow bone there.See it’s not theimplant that’s causing the bone to grow,the implant does not stimulate bonegrowth. Implant just is there where thebody wants to build the bone and becausephysically, it’s in the way thentherefore the bone cells get into thesmaller crevices and fix this. Now if youput the implant somewhere that body hasno intention or no desire to grow bonethere it won’t integrate.
