Missing teeth not only cause difficulties in chewing and eating, but also affect the aesthetic appearance. Although tooth loss can be treated in many different ways, implant treatments are frequently and safely preferred due to their various advantages. Although implant treatments are generally thought to take a long time, aesthetic and functional needs can be met on the same day with implant treatment and temporary fixed prostheses when appropriate conditions are provided.
What is the Dental Implant in 1 Day (Fast and Fixed) Technique?
One-day implant or fast and fixed implant technique is a treatment technique that allows tooth extraction, implants and temporary fixed prostheses to be performed on the same day for patients who need to have all their teeth extracted or who have lost all their teeth.
Since the implants are placed at a certain angle to the area where the back teeth are located, it is possible to perform all procedures on the same day, thus eliminating the need for additional surgeries. By placing the implants in a single session, a new smile design can be easily obtained even in cases requiring tooth extraction in one day.
What are the advantages of the 1-Day Implant (Fast and Fixed) Technique?
Since most of the treatment is completed in one day, treatment planning becomes easier for people with limited time. Since both aesthetic and functional expectations can be met in a single day, the treatment process progresses more positively psychologically and the return to social life becomes much easier.
In some areas where tooth loss occurs, there is no need for additional surgical procedures to eliminate bone deficiencies, so tooth deficiencies can be repaired in a healthy way in a short time.
When Can Implant (Fast and Fixed) Technique Be Done in 1 Day?
Oral care must be provided before implant planning with a fast and stable technique. Oral hygiene is brought to an ideal level before the procedure, and if tooth extraction is planned, fast and constant technique is continued after the extraction slots are disinfected. Before planning, the entire procedure progress and the necessary equipment to be used are evaluated.
Fixed prostheses should be prepared in consultation with the laboratory and technical team where the prostheses will be made. The 1-day implant technique can be safely applied to people who have lost all their teeth or who have decided to have all their teeth extracted.
How to Perform Treatment in 1 Day with Implant (Fast and Fixed) Technique?
The person’s suitability for treatment with a fast and fixed technique is evaluated by the first clinical examination and x-rays taken during this period. It is primarily aimed to eliminate existing infections or inadequate oral hygiene. Then, a personalized prosthesis is designed and the support areas where these prostheses will be applied are planned. In order to determine these areas, the location and size of the implants are decided in detail using 3D imaging and digital measurements.
After all the planning and preparation of the prostheses, the procedures begin. Before the procedure, the areas where tooth extraction and implant will be applied are anesthetized with local anesthetics. Under appropriate conditions, all procedures can be performed with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the person’s preference. If tooth extraction is planned, these procedures are completed first and then the extraction areas are cleaned and made ready for implant application.
In order for implants to be applied to predetermined locations in the jawbone, spaces are created and implants are placed in these spaces. Then, temporary fixed prostheses made on these implants are adjusted and the first phase of the treatment is completed on the same day. In these temporary fixed prostheses, implants must be used for a while.
In this process, by avoiding high forces and regular oral care, the tissue connection of the implants is preserved and suitable conditions are provided for permanent fixed prostheses. In this process, where the desired bone fusion will be achieved, the presence of custom-designed fixed prostheses in the mouth provides an easy return to social life on the same day and also supports tissue healing.
After the bone is fused, the second stage is started and temporary dental prostheses are removed, fixed and permanent prostheses are rehearsed, and then the process is completed by fixing them on the implants.
What Should Be Considered After Treatments with Implant (Fast and Fixed) Technique are Completed in 1 Day?
In order for the implants to be long-lasting, it is very important to maintain oral hygiene as recommended after the procedures. In addition, after rapid and constant application, avoiding harmful forces in the subsequent period makes it possible for operations to continue in a healthy way as planned. For this reason, attention should be paid to the recommended food consumption and hard and sticky foods should be avoided for a while.
After permanent fixed prostheses are applied, maintenance of the implants and prostheses is provided with control appointments and various applications are performed to ensure their longevity. In this way, any possible damage or undesirable situation can be detected early and necessary intervention can be made before permanent problems arise.
