Introduction
Implant Prosthodontics: It is the branch of implant dentistry concerning the
restorative phase following implant placement and the overall treatment plan
component before the placement of dental implants.
It is the phase of prosthodontics concerning the replacement of missing teeth
and/or associated structures by restorations that are attached to Dental
Implants.
Implant :-Any object or material, such as an alloplastic substance or other
tissue, which is partially or completely inserted or grafted into the body for
therapeutic, diagnostic, prosthetic or experimental purposes
Implant Classification
Dental implant can be classifiedaccording to its
on placement within tissue:-
Subperiosteal: A CoCr casting custom made for
an edentulous bony ridge and placed
subperiosteally with integral trans-mucosal posts
for denture retention.
Transmandibular (transosseous) dental implants
“staple boneplates”: The staple bone plate is used to
rehabilitate the atrophic edentulousmandible. - It is a
transosteal threaded posts which penetrate the full
thickness of the mandible and pass into the oral cavity
in the para symphysial area
Submucosal implants: A small “press
stud- like” device within the soft tissue
helping to retain a denture, usually maxillary
denture
Transdental fixation: A metal implant placed
through a tooth and extended through the
root canal into the periapical bone to stabilize
the mobile tooth sometimes referred to as
endodontic implants This was first used by
Cuswell and Senia in 1983
Endosseous—blade (plate), ramus frame, transosteal or staple, root
form, or cylindrical: These implants are anchored in bone and penetrate
the oral mucosa to provide prosthetic anchorage.
1- Classification of endosseous implants
according to their design:
A- Cylinders endosseous implants.
B- Screws or spiral post endosseous implants.
C- Blade form endosseous implants.
d- Root form endosseous implants
2- Classification of endosseous implants according to their material:
a- Pure titanium: the titanium oxide surface was responsible for the formation of the
direct bone- implant interface.
b- Titanium alloy: the titanium alloys exist in three forms: alpha, beta and alpha beta
phases and they all originate when pure titanium is heated and mixed with aluminium
and vanadium.
3- Classification of endosseous implants according to surface characteristics:
A- Sand blasted surface.
b- Titanium Plasma Sprayed surface (TPS), it has satisfactory results regarding the
osseointegration and the clinical prognosis.
c- Titanium oxide surface coating the implants to make the inert metal a bioactive
one.
d- Hydroxyapetite coating
4- Classification of endosseous implants according to the insertion technique:
The insertion techniques of endosseous implants have been classified into either:
a- Press fit technique, in this type of unthreaded implants, the implant site is drilled
slightly smaller than the actual implant size, where the implant is pressed into the
recipient site with slight friction.
B- Self tapping technique, in this type of threaded implants, the implant threads are
used to tap its site during insertion.
c- Pre-tapping technique, in case of very dense bone, the implant sites are better to
be previously tapped using the bone tap instrument before insertion of the threaded
implant.
5- Classification of endosseous implants according to surgical stages:
A- Single stage design (none submerged – transgingival): the body of the implant is
inserted into the bone with its abutment portion penetrating through the
mucoperiosteum during the healing period. Surgical placement of a dental implant,
which is left, exposed to the oral cavity following insertion. This is the protocol used in
non-submerged implant systems
b- Two stage design: in this design the implant body is completelyembedded in bone
for complete osseointegration. The implant body is then exposed and the healing
abutment is placed for soft tissue healing before the impression is made for prosthesis
fabrication
6.Classification of endosseous implants according to the time of installation:
a- Immediate implants, they are placed into a prepared extraction socket following
tooth extraction.
B- Immediate delayed implants, they are placed within 6-12 weeks after the tooth loss.
c- Delayed implants, they are placed within 6-12 months after tooth extraction, when
complete healing and bone remodeling occur
7.Classification of endosseous implants according to time of prosthetic loading:
a- Immediately loaded implants, an acrylic resin prosthesis which is designed to be
out of occlusion is placed immediatelyafter implant placement, specially in anterior
region for esthetic purposes.
b- Delayed loading implant, delayed loading is done in maxillary implants after 4-6
months and in mandibularimplants after 3-4 months to allow for better
osseointegration due to the difference of the investing bone composition
Factors Affecting Healing
1- Surgical Technique
All surgical procedures are traumatic. The level of
trauma is a critical factor that determines whether
healing will progress toward fibrous or osseous
integration. Surgical preparation on hard tissue causes
a necrotic zone of bone (interface) due to cutting of
blood vessels, frictional heat, and vibrational
trauma.Excessive trauma leads to fibrous
encapsulation of the implant.Surgicaltrauma must be
minimized during all aspects of implant surgery to
optimize success rates. The temperature for impaired
bone regeneration has shown to be as low as 44 C to
47 C for one minute.
2- Premature loading
Time should be allowed for healing of necrotic bone, formed due to surgery.
Movement of the implant during this healing phase will result in fibrous
encapsulation. For this reason, it is recommended by many operators to
keep the recently placed implants unloaded for a period of two to eight
months depending on the clinical situation, implant coating, location of the
implant, and whether the implant is placed into bone grafts.
3- Surgical fit
Even with the best technical precautions, bone contacts only portions of the implant
and a perfect microscopic contact is not possible. A longer healing period will be
required before loading implants then surgical fit less then optimal
4- Bone quality and quantity
The mandible has a denser cortex and a coarser thicker cancelli
than the maxilla. When we go posterior, jaws tend to have a
thinner, more porous cortex, and a finer cancelli. Bone
regeneration is more likely to progress at a faster rate if the
surrounding is denser. it is very frequent to find that bone amount
is not enough for implant placement.The following measures can
be done to overcome this problem:
- The use of short implants.
- Changing the implant angulations.
- Ridge augmentation.
- Trans positioning of the neurovascular bundle in the mandible.
- Subantral augmentation (sinus lift) in the maxilla.
- Bone synthesis (ossified tissue can be created in predetermined
shapes and dimensions).

5- Physical condition of the patient:
Nutritional status, aging, diabetes mellitus, blood diseases, corticosteroids therapy and
radiation treatment are among many factors which can affect healing.
Team Approach
- Some authors believe that the same operator should place and restore the implants. The rationale
is that it is more efficient form a patient's point of view. Italso allows the practitioner more freedom
in changing the predetermined position of the implants at the time of surgery. Because the same
individual is responsible for the prosthetic treatment, these changes can be incorporated into the
treatment plan more readily.
- Others believe that a team approach is more appropriate to follow. A surgeon should place the
implants, and a prosthetic dentist should complete the restoration.Because it allows for the
utilization of expertise of the two individuals, there is a built- in second opinion in the approach.
Additionally, there is shared responsibility and shared liability. Regardless of the philosophy
followed, it is well to delineate the responsibilities at each stage of implant therapy, and it should be
clear that dental implant is a prosthetic technique with a surgical step.
The prosthodontist should:
1- Perform the initial clinical evaluation.
2- Perform the initial radiographic evaluation.
3- Obtain the diagnostic casts.
4- Obtain the diagnostic wax- up.
5- Determine the location and number of implants and
fabricate a surgical template.
6- Select the proper abutment following the implant
exposure.
7- Design and fabricate the prosthesis.
8- Provide oral hygiene care and instructions.
9- Ensure recall of the patient to evaluate maintenance and
provide care as required.
The oral surgeon responsibilities include:
1- Confirmation of the radiographic evaluation.
2- Confirmation of the physical evaluation.
3- Determination of the location and number of implants within limits set by the
prosthetic dentist.
4- Placement of the implants (first stage surgery).
5- Uncovering of the implants (second stage surgery).
6- Confirmation of osseo-integration of the implants.

Components of Brainmark Implant
System:
I. Implant Fixture/Implant
BodyThe portion of a dental implant that
provides support for the abutment(s)
through adaptation upon (eposteal),
within (endosteal) or through
(transosteal) the bone . The body is that
portion of the implant designed to be
surgically placed into the bone. It may
extend slightly above the crest of the
ridge.
II. Healing/Cover Screw
The component of an endosteal dental
implant system used to seal, usually on an
interim basis, the dental implant body during
the healing phase after surgical placement.
The purpose of the healing screw is to
maintain patency of the internal threaded
section for subsequent attachment of the
abutment during the second stage surgery.
III. Healing Abutment/Interim
Endosteal Dental Implant AbutmentAny
dental implant abutment used for a limited
time to assist in healing or modification of the
adjacent tissues .After a prescribed healing
period that allows a supporting interface to
develop, second stage surgery is performed
to uncover or expose the implant and attach
the transepithelial portion or abutment. This
transepithelial portion is termed a second
stage permucosal extension, because it
extends the implant above the soft tissue and
results in the development of a permucosal
seal around the implant.
IV. Implant Abutment
The portion of a dental implant that serves to support and/or retain any
prosthesis . Three main categories of implant abutments are described
according to the method by which the prosthesis or superstructure is
retained to the abutment:
(i) an abutment for screw uses a screw to retain the prosthesis or
superstructure;
(ii) an abutment for cement uses dental cement to retain the
prosthesis or superstructure;
(iii) an abutment for attachment uses an attachment device to
retain the removable prosthesis.Many manufacturers classify
abutments as fixed whenever cement retains the prosthesis
and removable when they are screw retained. Each of the
three types of abutments is further classified into straight and
angled abutments, describing the axial relationship between
the implant body and abutment.
V. Hygiene ScrewIt
is placed over the abutment between prosthetic appointments
to prevent debris and calculus from entering the internally
threaded portion of the implant.
VI. Transfer Coping/Impression Coping
Any device that registers the position of the dental implant body
or dental implant abutment relative to adjacent structures.
VII. Implant Analog
An analog is something that is analogous or similarto something else. Implant analog is
used in the fabrication of the master cast to replicate the retentive portion of the implant
body or abutment. After the master impression is secured the corresponding analog
(implant body, abutment for screw or other portion) is attached to the transfer coping and
the assemblyis poured in stone to fabricate the master cast.
VIII. Coping/Gold Cylinder
It is a thin covering usually designed to fit the implant
abutment and serve as the connection between the
abutment and the prosthesis or superstructure. A
prefabricated coping usually is a plastic pattern cast
into the metal superstructure or prosthesis.
IX. Coping Screw
The screw retained prosthesis or
superstructure is secured to the implant body
or abutment with a coping screw.
