Undoubtedly, one of the most spectacular advances of the modern dentistry is the development of Dental Implants. These, are small titanium devices in the form of a cylinder and that, due to their high degree of biocompatibility, are capable of osseointegrate into the maxillary structures to “ideally” replace teeth lost due to decay, trauma and periodontal disease; thus avoiding the use of old ones removable prostheses.

With the LAST GENERATION IMPLANTS the surgical procedure of placement is quite simple, fast and painless. However, it must always be performed by Specialists in Oral or Maxillofacial Surgery, since the technique to be used is quite sensitive and requires extensive surgical and anatomical knowledge of tissues and oral structures.

Another essential factor in Advanced Implantology is the restorative aspect. If the prosthesis that is then placed on the implant is not well designed, the harmful forces generated by chewing will inevitably lead to its failure. Hence the importance and necessity of MULTIDISCIPLINARY TREATMENT in Oral Rehabilitation with Osseointegrated Dental Implants. In our clinic the second phase of the treatment or prosthetic phase is always in charge of the Prosthodontics Specialist Dentist, since no one better than him is able to handle the complicated principles and foundations of occlusion physiology, that is to say, in the way that implant and prosthesis should related to the rest of the teeth when the patient comes into function to eat and chew.

Finally, and in pro of the long-term success of the treatment, it is also imperative to highlight the importance of complying with a good consensual periodontal maintenance protocol, which at 6-month intervals, allows us to keep healthy gums and prosthetic elements in perfect aesthetic and structural condition.
