Dental Implant Indications
Dental implants from Neoss Limited are used as the means of anchorage between dental crowns, bridges or dentures and the surrounding bone in the upper or lower jaws. Such prostheses may range from replacement of a single tooth to an entire arch of bridgework and cement or screw retained restorations
The Neoss Implants – Neoss Implant System are also intended for immediate placement and function on single tooth and/or multiple tooth applications recognizing sufficient bone stability and appropriate occlusal loading, to restore chewing function. Multiple tooth applications may be splinted with a bar.
Insufficient size or numbers of implants to support biomechanical loads or undesirable positioning of implants can lead to mechanical failures including fatigue fracture of implant fixtures, abutments or abutment screws.
Such an example is a narrow diameter implant in combination with angulated abutments in the posterior region. Implant placement and prosthetic design must accommodate individual patient conditions such as bruxism or unfavorable jaw relationships to reduce the risk of overload or fatigue failure, and treatment is contraindicated if adequate accommodation cannot be accomplished.
Please consult appropriate surgical and restorative manuals and textbooks for information on treatment planning and medical evaluation. Dental implants need to be selected so that they provide an optimal connection and stability with the surrounding bone.
Neoss dental implants are contraindicated where bone of insufficient quality or quantity is available to produce adequate stability and support.
The design and construction of the abutment and prosthesis by the technician should incorporate appropriate retentive features for the prosthesis and should optimize the angulation between the implant fixtures and prosthesis such that applied loads are directed down the long axis of the implant.
Failure to achieve this can lead to excessive bending force and fatigue failure of the implant components.
