Sillim Station Dental Clinic: Restoring a Molar That Fell Out with Same-Day Osstem BA Implant Surgery

Hello,

I’m Director Park Jeong-gi of Seoul Remember Dental Clinic near Sillim Station.

Implants are a treatment that naturally and functionally restores lost teeth.

An artificial root (fixture) is placed into the jawbone, and once it is securely fixed, autment and artificial crown are connected.

A major advantage is that it can be performed independently without damaging the surrounding teeth, and because it can be used for a long time with proper care, it is also cost-effective.

As a result, more people are now choosing it over methods like dentures or bridges, and the outcomes are also better. What is the key to implant success? At Sillim Station Dental Clinic, we explained that an implant is a method of placing a fixture made of titanium, a biocompatible material, into the jawbone.

However, at this stage, simply placing it is not enough; the process called “osseointegration” inside it is very important.

This means forming a stable biological bond without triggering a rejection reaction in the body,

and the implant material and surface treatment method play an important role in the attachment and growth of surrounding bone cells, so they can be said to directly affect the osseointegration process.

Today, at Sillim Station Dental Clinic, we will show you a case using Osstem BA.

The lower left first molar was missing,

and since the gum had already healed and the bone width had narrowed,

it seems the tooth had been missing for quite some time.

When a natural tooth is lost, this is the phenomenon that occurs as the bone in that area recedes.

We also took an X-ray to check whether the bone condition was suitable for an implant, and fortunately, the height of the alveolar bone was good and there were no signs of inflammation, so at this level, same-day immediate placement is possible. Why choose Osstem BA At Sillim Station Dental Clinic, we decided to replace the missing molar with an implant,

and the company and type used this time was *Osstem BA.

*BA is an abbreviation for Bio-Active, meaning bioactivity.

It is a fixture coated at the nanometer level with hydroxyapatite, a bone-forming promoting material that makes up human teeth and bones,

and this helps improve osseointegration by promoting bonding between the fixture surface and the alveolar bone.

The case at Sillim Station Dental Clinic today involved the absence of the lower left first molar, which caused the second molar behind it to tip forward,

so shortening the treatment period was more important than anything else.

Otherwise, the back tooth could keep tilting more and more, and as the space narrowed, it might have become impossible to place the prosthetic.

So, to speed up recovery and shorten the treatment period, we placed Osstem BA,

and even after a little over two months, we were able to confirm that it had firmly bonded with the bone like this.

It usually takes about 3 to 4 months, but thanks to the special surface treatment, osseointegration occurred in a shorter period than that, and we were able to place the prosthetic on top right away.

Thanks to that, we were also able to quickly prevent the back molar from tipping, which had been a concern at Sillim Station Dental Clinic.

Implants are now widely used, so there are many different types. You need to consider several factors together when choosing one, such as whether it is domestic or imported, what kind of surface treatment it has, and what form it takes.

Not only price, but also quality, materials, technology, and success rate differ,

so I hope you find the method that suits you best, resolve the problems caused by tooth loss, and restore healthy oral function.

Thank you for reading. This has been Director Park Jeong-gi of Seoul Remember Dental Clinic near Sillim Station.
