Dental Implant Material – Which are best?

Dental Implants can be made up of various materials with different types of surfaces and connection to crown.

It is very important for your doctor to choose the right dental implant for your treatment.

Here the access, training, and expertise of your dentist come in as well as their understanding of your needs and expectations. The material There are three primary categories of dental implant material currently in use:

1. Pure titanium – oldest material available with extensive scientific evidence showing it to be the most biocompatible – safe with MRI – resistant to corrosion, durable, and lightweight

2.Titanium alloys -are a combination of titanium and other metals such as vanadium and aluminum – it makes the dental implant stronger than when using pure titanium.

3. Zirconia or ceramic – ideal for persons with metal hypersensitivity because they are metal-free. – implant experts in Nagpur prefer white zirconia to titanium implants as they can be more esthetically pleasing

The surface – studies in Government Dental College, Nagpur shown that rough, porous surfaces accelerate osseointegration when compared to smooth ones – Osseointegration is when the surface of the implant fuses with the surrounding bone -by contrast, smooth surfaces seem to be better adapted for soft tissue adhesion on the implant collar.

Dental implant production is therefore sophisticated and requires expertise.
