Preoperative Diagnosis and Preparation:

1. Diagnosis and Planning:

  •  Evaluate the patient’s oral and gum health.
  • Use X-rays or CT scans to assess the jawbone and surrounding structures, determining the appropriate location for implant placement.
  • If the gum and bone are strong enough, schedule the surgery; otherwise, bone grafting surgery may be required, taking about six months for fusion.

2. Surgical Preparation:

  • Treat the surrounding gums if necessary.

First Surgery
(Insertion of Fixture):

  • Administer appropriate anesthesia to the patient before surgery.
  • Make an incision in the gums to establish the Fixture accurately.
  • Place the Fixture in a stable position in the jawbone to support the artificial tooth.
  • Suture the gums.
  • Approximately two weeks later, remove the cement used for gum suturing.
  • Wait for the Fixture to integrate well into the jawbone (4-6 months).

Second Surgery
(Abutment and Impression Taking):

  1. Abutment Connection:
    • After healing from the first surgery, make another incision in the gums.
    • Confirm the successful integration of the Fixture into the jawbone.
    • If well-integrated, connect the Abutment to the Fixture, protruding it above the gums.
  1. Impression Taking:
    • Use an impression cap attached to the Abutment to obtain an impression.
    • Send this impression to the dental laboratory to accurately create the crown for the tooth model, using digital scans for convenience and accuracy.

Crown Fabrication and Attachment:

  • Optionally attach a temporary crown before the crown is manufactured in the dental laboratory.
  • Once the crown is fabricated (takes about one week), attach the final crown to the Abutment.
  • With this, the implant tooth is fully restored, allowing the patient to have a normal smile.
