Image Photo Description
dental implants, second stage abutments connection, drilling, parallelism, how to titanium, crown Second stage dental implant abutment connections. The six dental implants in this jaw have already healed and are just below the gum. (Part 2 of 4: Abutment parallelism). 1) Note the lack of parallelism. 2) In this photo a screwdriver is used to hold a second stage abutment. Notice the angle prepared extra orally to begin creating parallelism. 3) and 4) You can see in these pictures how the preparation in 2) is beginning to create parallelism but there is still more work to do. It is better to do the majority of this preparation extra orally because of heat generation. You will need to keep track of the orientation of each second stage dental implant abutment when they are individually removed and replaced. Minor preparation may be accomplished intra orally with light pressure and lots of water irrigation. How to place dental implant abutments.
oral implant dentistry, impressions tray material, porcelain cap crown prosthetics bridge Taking an impression of two upper left dental implants for porcelain a dental bridge. 1) The impression tray with a cut-out for impression copings. 2) The impression tray being tested for fit over the two implants intraorally. 3) The actual impression. Note the implant impression screws just peaking through the impression material. 4) The impression copings in the impression.

teeth implants, try in bridge, pfm, implant prosthetics, porcelain crowns caps, mouth, oral Maxillary left posterior three unit porcelain-metal dental bridge try-in over two dental implants. The words, crown and cap, mean the same thing; a dental crown and tooth crown also mean the same thing. A fixed dental bridge, or bridgework, typically means more than one crown - and that they are connected together as one piece. The word fixed typically means permanently cemented and not removable by the patient. Some patients incorrectly refer to their removable denture as a bridge.

second stage dental abutment connection, cover screw, healing cap, crown cap bridge Second stage dental implant abutment connection pictures. The six dental implants in this upper jaw - maxilla - have already healed and are just below the gum. (Part 1 of 4: Abutment connection). 1) A healing cap is being removed with a screwdriver. 2) A screwdriver is pushing a screw through the second stage abutment. 3) The second stage abutment is being connected to the first stage dental implant. 4) The second stage abutment is now connected to the dental implant.
dental implants, second stage abutment connection, titanium frame, model, wax crown bridge Second stage dental implant abutment connections. The six dental implants in this jaw have already healed and are just below the gum. (Part 3 of 4: Lab work). 1) The working model. 2) A very light but strong titanium frame. 3) & 4) The wax-up of the anterior six teeth on the titanium frame. Note in 4) that occlusal openings in the titanium will allow easy access to the second stage screws if necessary. Extra oral photos.
implants, second stage, abutments, connection, prosthesis, teeth, caps, crowns, bridge, fixed Second stage dental implant abutment connections. The six dental implants in this jaw have already healed and are just below the gum. (Part 4 of 4: The final prosthesis). The final prosthesis is acrylic fused to titanium. Note in 2) that occlusal openings in the titanium will allow easy access to the second stage screws if necessary. 3) The inserted prosthesis with the upper lip pulled back. 4) The inserted prosthesis with a normal lip position.

fixed porcelain bridge dental implants caps, titanium teeth, crown full mouth reconstruction Six dental implants were placed in the lower jaw. The porcelain-metal fixed bridge was then cemented to the implants.
tooth implants teeth dentistry, crown complications, failure, prosthetics, acrylic prosthesis Acrylic failure in an acrylic fused to metal full arch dental implant prosthesis. 1) The acrylic separated from the metal of this eight-year-old implant prosthesis. 2) The implant abutments are shown following removal of the prosthesis. 3) The prosthesis showing the separation. 4) Following fabrication of new acrylic to the frame. The ability to remove, repair and replace a prosthesis is a good thing.

 

 Information about these dental photos

     In medicine and dentistry "left" and "right" are based upon the orientation of the patient's body and not how they appear in a photograph of a smile.  For example, a reference to the upper left teeth will actually appear to be on the right side when viewing a picture of the face and similarly an upper right tooth will appear to be on the left side.

     Many words in dentistry like oral and mouth have a similar meaning and are frequently used together to help our readers find specific words they best understand.  This is particularly important because a majority of our visitors are from countries where English is not their primary language.  Maxilla or maxillary refer to the upper jaw.  Mandible or mandibular refer to the lower jaw.

     There are many other similar word combinations used throughout this website because our pages are read by patients and dentists.  A few of the most common are discussed here.  Tooth decay, tooth cavity and dental caries all mean the same thing.  Tooth, teeth and dental are also frequently interchanged as in teeth veneers or dental veneer laminate.  Oral rehabilitation and dental reconstruction mean smile makeover.  The word for x-ray may be used with or without a hyphen (this is true for other words too) and can also be called a radiograph.
