The implant should be 4mm away from the adjacent natural teeth.
From a medical point of view, if the missing teeth are front teeth, the tooth spacing is about 4MM, and dental implants can be used for restoration, but a thin diameter implant of 3.3-3.5MM should be used. If the gap between the missing teeth is too small to accommodate the artificial implant, the gap between the missing teeth can be opened by dental correction, and then implants can be made.
If the missing teeth are molars, the spacing is only 4MM, and dental implants cannot be made directly, but the gap can be closed by orthodontics, or the gap between the teeth can be opened before implants are made, because molars are functional teeth with greater chewing force, and the implant diameter is too small to bear the strength, so it is easy to break.
Precautions:
Before dental implants, a comprehensive oral examination is generally required. First, a panoramic oral film, jaw CT, etc. are made. Check the specific situation of the oral cavity, whether there is inflammation, alveolar bone absorption, etc.
When using it, patients should try to avoid chewing hard food, including walnuts, bones, and chicken feet.
In addition, regular checkups are necessary, which is also called maintenance. Generally, after dental implants are placed, they need to be maintained every six months. The main purpose is to check whether the crown of the dental implant is loose, whether there is food stuck between the dental implant and the adjacent teeth, and whether the gums are red and swollen. If these conditions occur, timely treatment is required.
