DENTAL IMPLANT
INTRODUCTION
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root replacement and is used in prosthetic dentistry to support restorations that resemble a tooth or group of teeth.
The most widely accepted and successful implant today is the osseointegrated implant, based on the discovery by Swedish Professor Per-Ingvar Brånemark that titanium can be successfully fuse to bone when osteoblasts grow on rough surface of the implanted titanium.
This forms a structural and functional connection between the living bone and the implant.
HISTORY
The Mayan civilization has been shown to have used the earliest known examples of endosseous implants (implants embedded into bone), dating back over 1,350 years before Per-Ingvar Brånemark started working with titanium.
While excavating Mayan burial sites in Honduras in 1931, archaeologists found a fragment of mandible of Mayan origin, dating from about 600 AD.
This mandible, which is considered to be that of a woman in her twenties, had three tooth-shaped pieces of shell placed into the sockets of three missing lower incisor teeth.
For forty years the archaeological world considered that these shells were placed under the nose in a manner also observed in the ancient Egyptians.
However, in 1970 a Brazilian dental academic, Professor Amadeo Bobbio studied the mandibular specimen and took a series of radiographs.
He noted compact bone formation around two of the implants which led him to conclude that the implants were placed during life.
In the 1950s research was being conducted at Cambridge University in England to study blood flow in vivo.
These workers devised a method of constructing a chamber of titanium which was then embedded into the soft tissue of the ears of rabbits.
In 1952 the Swedish orthopaedic surgeon, P I Brånemark, was interested in studying bone healing and regeneration, and adopted the Cambridge designed ‘rabbit ear chamber’ for use in the rabbit femur.
Following several months of study he attempted to retrieve these expensive chambers from the rabbits and found that he was unable to remove them. Per Brånemark observed that bone had grown into such close proximity with the titanium that it effectively adhered to the metal.
Brånemark carried out many further studies into this phenomenon, using both animal and human subjects, which all confirmed this unique property of titanium.
Although he had originally considered that the first work should centre on knee and hip surgery, Brånemark finally decided that the mouth was more accessible for continued clinical observations and the high rate of edentulism in the general population offered more subjects for widespread study.
He termed the clinically observed adherence of bone with titanium as ‘osseointegration’.
In 1965 Brånemark, who was by then the Professor of Anatomy at Gothenburg University in Sweden, placed the first titanium dental implant into a human volunteer, a Swede named Gösta Larsson.
Over the next fourteen years Brånemark published many studies on the use of titanium in dental implantology until in 1978 he entered into a commercial partnership with the Swedish defense company, Bofors AB for the development and marketing of his dental implants.
With Bofors (later to become Nobel Industries) as the parent company, Nobelpharma AB (later to be renamed Nobel Biocare) was founded in 1981 to focus on dental implantology.
To the present day over 7 million Brånemark System implants have now been placed and hundreds of other companies produce dental implants.
The majority of dental implants currently available are shaped like small screws, with either tapered or parallel sides.
They can be placed at the same time as a tooth is removed by engaging with the bone of the socket wall and sometimes also with the bone beyond the tip of the socket.
Some current research in dental implantology is focusing on the use of ceramic materials such as zirconia (ZrO2) in the manufacture of dental implants. Although generally the same shape as titanium implants zirconia, which has been used successfully for orthopaedic surgery for a number of years, has the advantage of being more cosmetically aesthetic owing to its bright tooth-like colour. Long-term clinical data is necessary before one-piece ZrO2 implants can be recommended for daily practice

Behaviour management is very important in cases of children for a paediatric dentist for a successful dental treatment...the simple technique used by the paediatric dentist is the "TELL SHOW DO" technique (where the instruments to be used are first shown and described to the child),modeling (where the child is made to stand near another child showing a positive behaviour) during any dental procedure and systematic desensitization (where the least anxiety provoking instruments and treatment procedures are introduced first reserving the highest anxiety provoking ones on the later visits)
