Implant Components

Today, implants have specific shapes and are found on the market for specific cases, each of which has common points and differences.

What is discussed in this section today is root-shaped or screw-shaped implants, which are the majority today.

The first and most important piece in implantology is the fixture itself, or in other words, the dental implant, which is placed in the patient’s jaw bone in stages by the surgeon after fixing the diameter and length of the implant and preparing the appropriate hole in the patient’s jaw.

In a typical two-stage surgical procedure, the implant, after closing its cover or screw cover inside the bone, usually remains in place for 2 to 4 months without bearing impact or pressure, depending on its brand and the strength of the jaw. And during this period, the so-called healing or fusion or osseointegration stage (integration of the implant and bone surface) remains, and during monthly care and taking x-rays or other tests indicating the occurrence of osseointegration, the next stage is the removal of the implant tip during a small surgery. Or it is so-called exposure. After exposure, the healing abutment or gingiva former or so-called gum shaper is attached for two weeks to heal the gums and shape them. And from this stage, the prosthetic stage begins and the surgeon’s work is finished.

The upper left image shows a picture of the 3A implant produced by the Mana Implant Company, which has macro and micro characteristics that are very important. More details will be given about this.

The lower left image shows the internal part of the implant, where all the necessary parts, including the abutments, are connected to the part by a screw at the end.

A strong connection without vibration or twisting is of vital importance for the survival of implants, which will be explained in the following pages.
