Are there any interactions with medications?

This is possible with certain medications. For example, cortisone can change the metabolism and immune system of the body in such a way that problems with healing may be encountered. Anticoagulation medications may cause serious hemorrhages during implant placement. If you are required to take medications regularly, you must discuss them with your dentist.

Will I have to remove an implantborne denture at night?

A conventional denture should be removed at night, because it may come adrift during sleep and may block the pharynx or the respiratory passage. An implantborne denture is normally fi xed in place and can be left in place at night without danger. Your dentist will advise you about this. You only have to ask.

Will I be in pain after the procedure?

The gum will probably be sensitive in the fi rst few days after the procedure but will not bleed any more. Your cheek may swell for a short time and may feel uncomfortable.However, most patients will not even need a  painkiller on the following day and can return to normal life.

Can implants be placed immediately after removing teeth?

Yes, this is often possible today.
The implant is placed in the fresh wound immediately after removal of a tooth. This is referred to as immediate implant placement (not to be confused with immediateloading of implants).


What exactly does immediate loading“ mean and does it apply to me?
The usual plan for implant-borne teeth includes an healing phase with no loading on the implants after they have been inserted. In this procedure the gap is temporarily closed with a classical temporary denture, which is
normally attached to the neighboring teeth. However, in immediate loading new implant systems and methods are used that under specifi c conditions allow the denture or the temporary denture to be attached to the implants
immediately. Patients receive their implant and have fi xed, naturallooking teeth on the same day. Whether immediate loading is suitable for you will depend on the state of the jawbone and the position of the implants. Ask your dentist about the options

Conventional Bridge or Implant?

Dear patient,
Life leaves traces  including on the teeth. An accident playing sport or a fall can leave a gap in your smile at any stage of life. Caries and periodontitis can cost you whole rows of teeth over the years. A stressful situation. But facing a tooth gap bravely is now unnecessary.An obvious or loose denture also. Your dentist has acontemporary solution: original implants by Friadent highly developed, used all over the world, tried and tested a million times over.

The small titanium bodies are artifi cial high-tech tooth roots that become a part of the jaw. They are as fi rm as if they were part of you, and provide a stable base for single-tooth crowns, larger bridges or dentures.
Implant-borne teeth are virtually identical to your second set. And they have a completely natural mouth feel. No problems or flapping dentures. It is not necessary to damage healthy neighboring teeth to fi x bridges in place. Friadent implants offer a secure solution for every age and for every situation. Permanent, bite-resistant and as individual as you are. Gain security and quality of life with implants. Have an attractive smile and enjoy good food again. This brochure describes how surprisingly simple it can be to do this. You will fi nd out how

Friadent implants can be used to replace one tooth, several teeth or all teeth safely
and without complications. You will also fi nd answers to all your questions about the treatment, care of implants and much more.


Naturally invisible-implants in single tooth gaps
Anyone can lose a tooth. It often happens in seconds, playing sport and a tooth is gone, just like that.
A shock, but no great drama any more. Implants resolve the small problem naturally and invisibly. The dentist inserts the small high-tech root at the position where the natural tooth was in the jaw. This usually does not take any longer than any other routine treatment by your dentist. A temporary restoration closes the gap until the implant is healed. Then the fi nal tooth crown
is fi xed in place — permanently. With the new root it is fixed fi rmly in the jaw and feels identical to your
natural teeth.

It's your choice: conventional bridge or implant?
As an alternative the missing tooth can generally be replaced with a fi xed bridge. Healthy teeth must be ground down to fi x the bridge in place. And this means the teeth that are on the left and right of the gap. They act as bridge abutments. The denture is fi xed to the bridge with the aid of crowns. The pontic that closes the gap is between the crowns. It is close enough to the jaw bone to look identical to a natural tooth at fi rst. But it does not load the jaw bone like a natural tooth. Because of this the bone atrophies over time like a muscle that is not used and gradually wastes away. This is why bridge components are often clearly
visible when people are laughing and talking. Is there no tooth on the left or right because the gap is at the end of a row of teeth? Or a tooth bordering the gap clearly has a limited life expectancy and is therefore not suitable as a bridge abutment?

Then there is the removable partial denture. It needs retainers such as small metal clasps attached to the neighboring teeth. However, over time the metal clasps may overload the retainer teeth and cause more tooth losses. This is not necessary  you can have implants.

Implants: the best solution
in every way An implant-borne crown does not need retainer clasps. It is not necessary to grind down any teeth. The implant also retains the natural shape of the jaw bone. Friadent implants imitate the anatomy of the natural tooth root, so the bone and gum are correctly loaded and shaped. No one will detect the tiny difference, not even you. Your new tooth is used in exactly the same way as its natural neighbors. You take care of it in exactly the same way, and it will stay in place — even if you continue to play sport vigorously.
Ask your dentist about the options. Do it now.

Dental implants for the edentulous jaw.

Do you have no teeth at all in your upper or lower jaw?

You will still be able to laugh with dental implants. As few as two to four new roots will be enough to provide a fi rm base for a full denture. A bridge can be fi xed to six implants. This will give you a high degree of security in
every situation because nothing can come loose unexpectedly.
No more embarrassing surprises. Your full denture is attached to the implants with special retainer systems, which consist of two components.One component is permanently attached to the implant, its counterpart is part of the denture. The components click together just like pressing a button. Your denture is firmly attached. For cleaning the denture can be easily removed and just as easily replaced after cleaning. If you wish, your denture can also be permanently attached to the implants. A bridge can be permanently anchored to at least six implants in your jaw. The denture is then so fi rmly attached that the supporting pink denture plastic is not required.

Instructions for Placement of Dental Implants Intra-Lock System "Part 2"

Instructions for Placementof Dental Implants

Drilling Sequence for Internal Connection Implants:

1. Lancer Pilot Drill

2. 1.5mm Drill

3. 2.0mm Drill

4. 2.5mm Drill

5. 3.65 mm Drill is the final drill for 4.0 Hex Line Implants.

6. Conic Drills; Final drill matches length of Conic Line Implants

Note:Use of the Bone Tap is reserved for dense bone.

Completion of Site Preparation:

The implant site is periodically flushed and checked for proper depth.The drills have depth markings and a paralleling pin/depth gauge indicator is also available. The paralleling pins are utilized when multiple implant sites are prepared. As each site is completed, a paralleling pin can be inserted into the osteotomy site and used as a guide for the preparation of the next site.

Product Packaging:

All Intra-Lock® Implants are sterilized and suspended on titanium rings within a sterile vial. The vial is then packaged in a sterile blister pack, which provides an additional environmental barrier. Sterilization is achieved by gamma radiation. The label on the package indicates lot number, product description, catalog reference number and expiration date.

Implant Installation: using the Drive-Lock®

The implants are suspended on titanium cradles, in order to enable their direct transfer to the surgical site. (Picture1).

The Drive-Lock® carrier/placement driver is used to pick up the implant directly from the vial, carry it to the osteotomy site and thread the implant into place (Pictures 2, 3 & 4). This driver fits either contraangle

or ratchet drives and can safely exert the necessary driving force without risk of deformation of the prosthetic interface connection. The final seating of the implant(s) is achieved by the incremental turns of the Ratchet Wrench. Should bone density demand, the osteotomy site should be further prepared via the utilization of the Bone Tap. A Countersink Drill is also available for those clinicians choosing the

option of exercising a countersink technique.

The tip of the Drive-Lock® (either for contra-angle or ratchet) is a 1.3 mm hex driver, designed to carry the cover screw onto the implant, once inserted into the osteotomy site (Picture 5).

Radiographic Verification:

At this point, take the appropriate radiograph(s) to confirm proper depth, seating, orientation and placement of the implant(s).

Placement of the Healing Screw:

After radiographic verification, a healing screw is then placed. The tip of the Drive-Lock®‚ (either for contra-angle or ratchet) is a 1.3 mm hex driver, designed to carry the cover screw onto the implant and

thread it into place.

Site Closure:

Irrigate the site for the final time, approximate the flaps and secure with interrupted mattress sutures or suture method of choice. It is important that maximum tissue adaptation be obtained.

Important Points to Remember:

• Only titanium instruments should come in contact with the implant.
• The Conic Implants are designed to fit the drilled depth.
• If a removable prosthesis is used near the implant site, it should be generously relieved and a soft tissue conditioner reline material placed.

Postoperative Care:

Cold packs are recommended for the first 24 hours. Analgesics/

Antibiotics may be prescribed at the discretion of the practitioner. The

patient is advised to favor the opposite side of the mouth, maintain a

soft diet and avoid hot liquids. Sutures may be removed after 5-7 days.
