Dental Restoration Guide

Metal implants made of titanium had their fair share of problems such as non-osseointegration wherein they failed because the bone wasn’t able to grip the implant, enough to make a firm foundation. Researchers then found that a new new generation of ceramics that were not only tougher but have a structure that is similar to real bone may provide better implants that are shorter but stronger.
On the other hand, more traditional implants were quite large and tends to result in a hole that has to be drilled quite precisely to accept it, enter mini-implants. These were quite similar to the standard implants that were previously used to provide temporary anchors for dentures and were smaller in size that made them easier to put in. Newer materials proved to strengthen them enough for permanent use and initial tests allowed them to become more cost effective in attaining that perfect smile.
