Is the implant cause tooth decay?

Implant is the one of the methods of treatment to fulfill the function of natural teeth. Implants are cylindrical, screw-shaped structures. Implants with tooth root length have an average diameter of 4 mm. These structures are the treatment which are closest to the natural teeth. Implants which are lookalike natural teeth also work like them. Decay of implanted teeth is not possible. Before the treatment of implant, patient’s general health should be examined. After this stage, possible or existing health problems in the patient should be determined. It may be possible for people with problems such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease to have the necessary controls and prepare for dental implants.

The implant, which is placed with the surgical application in the patient’s jawbone, fuses with the jawbone in 3 months. After this stage, the jawbone and the implant become one. After the completion of this period, fixed porcelain or zirconium teeth are applied on the implant. In this way, it is possible to regain natural teeth.

Can implanted teeth break?

Implant is the one of the successful treatment in our time. But like all medical treatments, implant have some risks. Although it is very rare for implants to break, the implant may break as a result of traumas or accidents.

Teeth implant is commonly used because it use titanium for replacing missing teeth. Fracture of the prosthetic screw remains a problem in restorative practice and it is a great challenge to remove the broken screw conservatively. Implant treatment is considered as a safe technique. Failure of dental implants may be due not only to biological factors such as failed osseointegration or development of periimplantitis, but also to technical complications.

In general, these complications can be divided into the following five categories:

  • Coating material breakage
  • Prosthetic Screw Loosening
  • Prosthetic Screw Breakage
  • Implant Breakage
  • Framing Breakage

Failure of implant-supported restorations is due to technical problems and can be divided into two groups, those related to implant components and those related to prosthetics. Teeth implants are made of titanium alloy, this alloy, not only does it integrate with your bone, it also has the advantage of being one of the strongest metals. The root of dental implant is stronger than natural teeth root and enclose bone. It can break or bend a dental implant, but this requires a lot of force which can cause other injuries. Often, when trauma to the implant, the surrounding bone may be damaged and the implant may become loose.

Can implant cause cancer?

Implant treatment, which has been actively applied for 35 years, has brought many questions as well as a revolution in dentistry. The most asked question is if implant cause cancer or not. In fact, the material used for the implant, namely titanium, has been routinely used by orthopedists for the correction of bone fractures for years. In other words, an implant does not mean the use of a brand new substance in the body.

We can say that the more cancerous the titanium used for a fracture is, the more likely it is to cause cancer in titanium implants. Studies on this subject show that metals such as titanium and platinum are highly compatible in the body, so they can be used safely. But it is the best that patients who want to get an implant to choose brands which is well-known and produce implant for years. Because unfortunately, naturally it is unknown what kind of effect will see by using implants which are not produced in right conditions and from pure titanium.
