Partial Orthodontics + Implants (Treatment Diary)

40s male

Most of his teeth were loose and in poor condition

He had delayed treatment out of fear and worry,

but came in after making up his mind on the recommendation of an acquaintance.

There were almost no teeth that could be saved.

This was a case where full-mouth implants would also have been appropriate.

But at the age of 40,

having a full-mouth implant treatment without any of your own teeth

is a significant psychological shock.

The upper front teeth also had poor jawbone support,

so they had become spaced apart and inflamed.

The separated front teeth could be restored with crowns,

or extracted and replaced with implants. But the part I always emphasize is:

"Save any teeth that can be saved as much as possible."

While preserving as many teeth as possible,

I planned the treatment so the visible area would also be cosmetically satisfying.

The upper front teeth were treated with partial orthodontics

to close the gaps and preserve the patient's own teeth for use.

When you look at the extracted tooth,

you can see black tartar attached to it.

This is how scary tartar can be.

Tartar melts away the jawbone,

creates inflammation,

causes the teeth to become loose, and eventually leaves no choice but to extract them.

Please~~ early on

Front teeth orthodontics + upper implant

At this time, a "minimally invasive implant" was performed without incision, and when using a minimally invasive implant, it is often advantageous for obtaining initial stability when the bone condition is poor.

Minimally invasive Magic Core implants do not run TV commercials, so the general public often does not know much about them.

However, the many advantages of Magic Core implants have been recognized to the point that well-known implant companies have copied and made them.

At Arumdri Dental Clinic,

pain-free implant treatment is possible with minimally invasive (no-incision, no-suture) implants.

The spaced front teeth were arranged neatly and beautifully.

Areas with severe inflammation require bone grafting.

In fact, I think the grafted bone is more important than the implant itself.

What kind of bone is used at this stage has a major impact on the treatment result.

Depending on the location, shape, and condition of the bone graft area,

different types of bone must be appropriately used.

Along with bone grafting, I also use PDRN.

PDRN effects

Promotes tissue regeneration

Regenerates damaged tissues such as gums, alveolar bone, and ligaments

Helps the gums and alveolar bone recover quickly after implant surgery in particular

Promotes recovery of gums and bone tissue damaged by periodontitis

May help preserve natural teeth.

Reduces inflammation

Helps suppress inflammation and reduce pain

Used in the treatment of inflammatory diseases such as peri-implantitis, apical periodontitis, and periodontitis

Improves blood circulation

Promotes blood vessel formation and helps blood circulation

Provides sufficient oxygen and nutrients to damaged tissues

Contributes to faster recovery

TMJ treatment

Helps relieve inflammation when treating temporomandibular joint disorders

Has effects that help regenerate cartilage and tissue

PDRN is not a stand-alone treatment, but is often used as an adjunct procedure to maximize the effects of existing dental treatments.

It is used in various ways, such as injections or local application, and the number of treatment sessions or duration may vary depending on the patient's condition.

You may think it's nothing special, but depending on the case, these small efforts can produce completely different results.

I would like to say this is why it is not enough to simply look for the cheapest treatment.

I do not spare thought, research, or investment in order to help patients even a little and provide better treatment. But when I am judged simply as a price comparison item, it really breaks my heart ㅠㅠ

Treatment is now complete.

The lower jaw had overall poor bone condition, so treatment took longer than for the upper jaw, but by using UV implants and PDRN, we shortened the treatment period as much as possible.

UV implants have many advantages.

Thanks to the patient staying with the difficult process, we were able to achieve a satisfying result.

The patient's own teeth were preserved and the gaps were closed with orthodontics

Orthodontic treatment takes 3 to 4 months.

When people hear "orthodontics!!"

don't many worry that the treatment period will be long?

With this kind of partial orthodontics,

the treatment can be completed in a very short time.

Partial orthodontics is also relatively affordable,

so it can be tried without too much burden.
