Is crown fitted just after implant?

In India, the most common dental treatment is getting an implant. And the most legitimate and frequently asked question after an implant is that the implant is fitted with a crown immediately. Most worried patients are those who have lost a tooth in visible smile line or esthetic zone.  Though every dentist will try to explain it to you in best possible way, but fact of the matter is that there is no yes or no answer to your query. The original broken tooth is extracted, a dental implant is placed. Now what? Is the crown is connected to implant instantly or after healing of extraction site.

When the crown is to be connected at a later stage, we attain a better bone quality and quantity. This way, we get the perfect initial stabilization of implant. The reason for this is that the place from where the tooth is extracted is perfectly healed now.  However, if the crown is to be connected to the implant immediately, there is always an inconsistency between the tooth socket and geometry of the implant. Hence poor implant stability and need for grafting arises.

So, the treatment depends from patient to patient. If the patient does not have grinding and clenching habits and the implant is stable when it is placed, there is no harm in going for immediate crowning or temporary crowning of the implant. However, if the implant is not stable at the time of placement, we can give it little time and the crown can be placed at a later stage. So, it all depends upon patient’s condition and dentist’s judgement of the situation.

How do cold lasers work?

We all are aware of lasers now. They have been affecting our lifestyle to a great extent. But, have you heard of cold lasers? The latest Buzz word in laser dentistry is “Cold Laser” or Soft lasers. The cold lasers are the powerful lasers which are defocused to make the tissue interaction as biostimulation and hence the scientific name as Biostimulatory lasers.

Receptors in plants are well known. But do you know that there are receptors in human body as well which are responsible for the laser light to be absorbed. Photochemically reactive proteins which are responsible for harvesting low light energy are present in abundance in human body. Out of more than 300 proteins in human body, the most common receptor proteins are the rod and cone pigments in eye. The photoreactive molecules in a cell are called Chromophores.

The soft lasers or the cold lasers do not vaporise or cut the tissue. The cell with impaired function gets stimulated when the laser light is administered in right dose. When the laser light falls on cells, the chromophores result in formation of radical oxygen species. ATP or Adenosine Tri-Phosphate, fuel molecule of a cell is influenced by redical oxygen species. At certain level of ATP, the cell metabolism increases and there is enhanced RNA and DNA formation in nucleus of cell. All these things, convert into a faster healing. The important point to note here is that the soft tissue heals at a fast pace post-surgery. The cold lasers are now a renowned name in dentistry as well as medicine as it is associated with tissue healing.
