Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / June 2007Regarding Implants
Hi -- answers/help appreciated for the following, please: Is a titanium post/root (don't know name) inserted into the root of the tooth or is the remaining tooth extracted? If the remaining part of the tooth is extracted, is the new post/root replaced immediately? Thanks for any information or re-direction. Is top posting frowned upon here? It is frowned on everywhere.

Residual tooth and root is removed. The implant is inserted into bone. > If the remaining part of the tooth is extracted, is the new post/root > replaced immediately? Sometimes, yes, it is placed immediately. More often, some healing needs to occur prior to placing the implant. This is due to the health of the bone when a diseased tooth has been present. > Is top posting frowned upon here? I prefer top-posting -- so shoot me :-)  Signature/ Amatus Me too. If you don't know the thread you can always scroll down. If you do know the thread, it save scrolling through volumes of writing to find one little comment.

[quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > I prefer top-posting -- so shoot me :-) In contrast to my last post, here's what a 'me too' looks like with bottom posting and no editing of text. Had to scroll for little substance. ;-) D Amatus - thank you kindly for your swift response. Re implant inserted into bone. . . How can a dentist know what size the implant is, is an x-ray adequate, or are implants a one size fits all? If it occurs in my case that there is a time frame for my jaw bone to heal or surround the implant there would be a temporary crown for a while? And then an additional wait time for the permanent new crown would be expected? snipped... > Residual tooth and root is removed.

Lots of factors are used to determine size. Let your dentist worry about this one. > If it occurs in my case that there is a time frame for my jaw bone to heal > or surround the implant there would be a temporary crown for a while? Sometimes yex, other itmes no. Ccheck with your dentist. > And then an additional wait time for the permanent new crown would be > expected? Depends on what was done to the site. > snipped... > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >> to occur prior to placing the implant.
