138) Dental implant

Who suffered bone loss and want to do dental implant without grafting or those who dream of entering into an implant on the same day and leave the office now with the provisional prosthesis but well installed can smile at will. This is possible thanks to technical innovations such as an anchor or fixing zygomatic. In addition to efficient, the technique of anchoring that is already held in Santa Maria, avoids the disadvantage of making the withdrawal a part of bones out of the mouth (chin, rib or pelvic) for graft in the jaw and then fix the implants and then the prostheses.
"With this method, which involves the zygomatic bone, the patient does not need to do bone graft. The titanium implants, measuring about 50 millimeters each, are placed in the back of the jaw, and set anchored to the bone cheeks. After installing the anchorages and the formation of bone around the implant, which runs the six-month period, are the definitive prosthesis, "explains the surgeon-dentist and periodontists, Jose Oscar Carlesso, 58 years, the first in town to do surgery. In total, as were five patients who returned the smile and safely recovered their self-esteem after the procedure which, he says, is less time (surgical procedure requiring general anesthesia and takes between 48 hours and 72 hours) and less traumatic . On the waiting list for more than 20 patients.
"With their teeth fixed, the sensation of eating better, smiling and talking with security being used to restore the self-esteem," celebrates one of the patients who came to surgery recently and who preferred not to identify. Without revealing figures, Carlesso, who is a member of the Latin American Academy of Osseointegration since 1993 and operates in 18 years with implants retirement, advance only that the procedure is on average 30% cheaper than the conventional. In conventional implants graft with the patient have to wait up to eight months for temporary placement of implants and wait one more time (around six months) for osseointegration to the placement of the long-awaited final prosthesis.
Lover of the profession, the surgeon-dentist who, as a child, came running out of the chair of a doctor in fear of the treatment, has courses in Sweden, London, Barcelona and Italy, among other countries and three children following the same path. "We never saw his father get home earlier and much less sad. A fact that just motivates us, "says one of the sons, Jonathan Carlesso, 23, which is post-graduate in implantodontic in Porto Alegre.
