What Is Implantology?

Implantology is a field of dentistry focused on the placement of dental implants in cases where natural teeth are missing. The goal of implant treatment is to restore chewing function, facial aesthetics, oral health, and overall smile harmony.
A dental implant is made from biocompatible medical titanium and is surgically inserted into the jawbone. Over time, the implant integrates with the bone, functioning as the root of a natural tooth.
After integration, an abutment (a connecting element) is attached to the implant, and a custom-made crown is placed on top. Thus, a dental implant is a multi-component system consisting of:

  • Implant (root replacement)
  • Abutment (connector)
  • Crown (visible part of the tooth)

Additional components may include a healing cap to shape the gums.

Benefits of
Dental Implants

  • Full restoration of function – implants provide chewing efficiency closest to that of natural teeth.
  • Long service life – implants can last 25–30 years or longer with proper care.
  • Preservation of neighboring teeth – no need to grind down healthy teeth.
  • Crown upgrade possible – the prosthetic crown can be replaced or redesigned if desired.
  • Aesthetics – implant-supported crowns look and feel like natural teeth; only a specialist can tell the difference upon close examination.
  • Comfort – implants do not feel foreign and do not interfere with eating or smiling.

Indications for Implant Placement:

  • Complete absence of teeth in the upper or lower jaw
  • Absence of one tooth
  • Replacement of several missing teeth
  • Inability to use removable dentures may be due to professional requirements, allergies to denture materials, or a strong gag reflex triggered by the presence of a foreign object in the mouth.

Contraindications

  • Absolute contraindications
  • Relative contraindications

Absolute contraindications (implantation is strictly prohibited).

  

  • Hemophilia
  • Malignant tumors
  • Radiation or chemotherapy
  • Severe psychiatric disorders
  • Osteoporosis
  • Alcohol addiction
  • Drug addiction
  • Hepatitis C
  • HIV/AIDS

Relative contraindications (implantation is possible with stabilization and medical supervision):

  

  • Anemia (requires normalization of hemoglobin and iron levels)
  • Periodontitis
  • Thyroid disorders (treatment possible in stable condition)
  • Diabetes (allowed when controlled and monitored)
  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Age under 18 (jaw growth incomplete)
  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding
  • Caries
  • Dental plaque
  • Active inflammatory or infectious conditions
  • Bite disorders
  • Jaw cysts
Important: Contraindications can change over time — therefore, a consultation with an implantologist is essential for proper evaluation.

How Is an Implant Placed?

An implant is not inserted into the gum, but into the bone beneath it. Step-by-step procedure: The gum is gently opened to expose the jawbone. A precise hole is drilled to accommodate the implant. The implant is inserted tightly into the bone. A sterile healing cap is placed to prevent tissue overgrowth. The gum is sutured and left to heal for 1–3 weeks. After healing, the sutures are removed. Then begins osseointegration — the bonding of the implant to the bone, lasting 2–3 months.

Next step: The patient returns; the gum is reopened, the healing cap is removed. A gingiva former is placed to shape the natural gum contour for the crown. After 1–2 weeks, impressions are taken and sent to the dental laboratory. A custom crown is fabricated and securely attached.
