Intramucosal Implants Are Extremely Aesthetic and Biocompatible
Intramucosal implants are dental
implants that are placed within the mucosa of the mouth. These implants are
used to anchor partial or complete dentures in the oral region of the mouth and
are made from titanium, zirconium, or composites.
They are minimally invasive,
reversible, and do not require bone reconstruction. They are also extremely
aesthetic and biocompatible.
Generally, they are inserted in
the maxilla or mandible. However, they can be inserted into the palatal region
as well. The intramucosal implants technique is a simple and effective means of
increasing the retention of fixed partial dentures or full upper dentures.
These mushroom-shaped titanium implants are embedded into the acrylic underside
of a denture and are designed to create soft tissue receptor sites that retain
them. The special burs that create these receptor sites are inserted into the
soft tissue to ensure precise, targeted placement of these implants.

The main advantage of these
implants is that they are less invasive and do not penetrate the jawbone. This
is especially important for people who have taken bisphosphonates like Fosamax
because they are at risk of developing osteonecrosis of the jaw if a bone-level
dental implant is inserted.
These implants are also a great
option for patients with severely compromised bone density due to health
conditions or smoking. In addition, they provide support for the adjacent teeth
so that they do not begin to drift toward the empty sockets.
They can be used by any patient
who has lost a tooth and does not wish to wear a fixed bridge or removable
denture. Moreover, they are very reversible and allow the patient to chew with
their natural teeth again.
They are designed with a special
micro-grooved surface that allows gum tissue to more easily and securely attach
to the implant and bone tissue, without letting germs and infections inside.
Intramucosal implants are only a
temporary replacement for teeth. The long-term function of the dental implant
is to restore the natural bite and prevent further loss of bone in the affected
area.
In order to place an intramucosal
implant, the osseointegrated implant base is placed into the alveolar ridge of
the mandible or maxilla and transects only one cortical plate. It is then
covered with a plastic flap and allowed to heal for three months.
After the healing process has
been completed, the patient is able to eat, drink, and brush their teeth
normally again. In fact, if the patient continues to maintain good oral
hygiene, they can expect to enjoy good longevity with their intramucosal
implants.
