Have allergy or tumorous diseases been noted in connection with implantation?

Implants are made of pure titanium. This material had special biological characteristic – namely bone is able to integrate with it. We cannot find any record of allergy or tumorous in connection with implants in literature, as ther surface is covered by a stable compound, titanium – oxide. This material does not dissolve in bodily fluids, so the immune system does not react to it. With a good implantation and a properly prepared prosthesis, implants can remain effective and last a lifetime.

Why is proper mouth hygiene so important for patients wearing implants?

Good mouth hygiene has a basic role in the long-therm viability of implantt-based tooth replacement. Beside cleaning the teeth twice a day with a tooth brush and tooth paste int he usul way the neck-part of the implants – or if it is covered by a crown, the surrounding gum – and the underlying parts of the prosthesis must be carefully cleaned. Plaque can be easily removed from these places with the help o fan interdental tooth brush or dental floss. Avoid the use of oral hygiene materials containing fluoride in high contrencation!

The other important condition of a long-run succes is a properly prepared prosthesis. If these two conditions are met, implants can last for just as long as the original teeth tat thay are replacing.
