  • Dental Implants Placement of Dental Implants Is a Procedure, Not an American Dental Association (ADA) Recognized Dental Specialty
    Dental Implants Placement of dental implants is a procedure, not an American Dental Association (ADA) recognized Dental Specialty. Dental implants like all dental procedures require dental education and training. Implant therapy is a prosthodontic procedure with radiographic and surgical components. Using a dental implant to replace missing teeth is dictated by individual patient needs as determined by their dentist. An implant is a device approved and regulated by the FDA, which can provide support for a single missing tooth, multiple missing teeth, or all teeth in the mouth. The prosthodontic and the surgical part of implant care can each range from straightforward to complex. A General Dentist who is trained to place and restore implants may be the appropriate practitioner to provide care for dental implant procedures. This will vary depending on an individual clinician’s amount of training and experience. However, the General Dentist should know when care should be referred to a specialist (a Prosthodontist, a Periodontist or an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon). Practitioners should not try to provide care beyond their level of competence. Orthodontists may place and use implants to enable enhanced tooth movement. Some Endodontists may place an implant when a tooth can’t be successfully treated using endodontic therapy. Maxillofacial Prosthodontists may place special implants or refer for placement when facial tissues are missing and implants are needed to retain a prosthesis. General Dentists are experienced in restorative procedures, and many have been trained and know requirements for the dental implant restorations they provide. However, if a patient’s implant surgical procedure is beyond the usual practice of a dentist, this part of the care should be referred to another dentist that is competent in placement of implants.

  • Important Information About Complete Dentures University of Iowa College of Dentistry and Dental Clinics
    Important Information About Complete Dentures University of Iowa College of Dentistry and Dental Clinics Time Frame The College of Dentistry does not fabricate one appointment, same day dentures. I understand that at least 6-8 appointments will be required to fabricate my dentures. If there have been recent extractions, I understand that denture fabrication will not begin until a minimum of 8 weeks following tooth removal to allow for adequate healing time. Additional appointments may be required for relines or remakes. I understand that dentures fabricated sooner than 6 months post-extraction have an increased risk for remake and not just reline (refit) due to patient-specific bone changes. Possible Delays I am aware that delays in the fabrication and delivery of my dentures may be due to: • The need for additional healing time (8 weeks or more is the recommended healing time) due to my own individual healing response • The need for additional surgeries to shape the bone, which will require additional healing time • Holidays and academic breaks • Scheduling conflicts Difficulties and Problems with Wearing Dentures The difficulties and problems associated with wearing dentures have been presented to me, along with my treatment plan. I understand that each person is unique and success with dentures cannot be compared to others’ denture experiences. These issues include, but are not limited to: • Difficulties with speaking and/or eating • Food under dentures • Functional problems: It is the patient’s responsibility to learn to manage their dentures to become successful with eating and speaking. Abnormal tongue position or tongue movements during speech or non-functional habits will generally cause an unstable lower denture.

  • Dental Implants Compared to Dentures and Bridges
    Dental Implants Compared To Bridges and Dentures Benefits of implants over other cosmetic procedures Many adults face the problem of missing teeth. For years, dentures and bridges were the treatment of choice and patients had to come to terms with the often painful, embarrassing, and uncomfortable results. Dental implants offer a more natural, comfortable and long-term alternative that you should consider. Dental implants vs. traditional dental bridge A single dental implant is now considered the standard of care for those missing a single tooth. Unfortunately, most dentists are not trained in the placement of dental implants, so the most commonly used solution is a fixed dental bridge. This approach involves grinding down the two surrounding healthy teeth, so that they may act as anchors for a three-unit bridge (three artificial teeth) that is then cemented onto the two surrounding teeth. The damage to the structure of the surrounding teeth is permanent. Further, statistics reveal that these damaged teeth eventually fail due to the stresses placed on them by the bridge. The result is the eventual loss of those teeth and an even longer bridge. A single dental implant offers a vastly superior solution because it restores the lost tooth root, and surrounding healthy teeth remain unharmed. Your natural tooth root helps maintain bone density, but when you have the unfortunate occurrence of losing a tooth, the bone will deteriorate overtime. 101 N. Pointe Blvd. Suite 201 Lancaster PA 17601 717.581.0123 | [email protected] Since dental implants integrate with existing bone, your jaw structure remains intact and your oral health is preserved.

  • Parameters of Care for the Specialty of Prosthodontics (2020)
    SUPPLEMENT ARTICLE Parameters of Care for the Specialty of Prosthodontics doi: 10.1111/jopr.13176 PREAMBLE—Third Edition THE PARAMETERS OF CARE continue to stand the test of time and reflect the clinical practice of prosthodontics at the specialty level. The specialty is defined by these parameters, the definition approved by the American Dental Association Commission on Dental Education and Licensure (2001), the American Board of Prosthodontics Certifying Examination process and its popula- tion of diplomates, and the ADA Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA) Standards for Advanced Education Programs in Prosthodontics. The consistency in these four defining documents represents an active philosophy of patient care, learning, and certification that represents prosthodontics. Changes that have occurred in prosthodontic practice since 2005 required an update to the Parameters of Care for the Specialty of Prosthodontics. Advances in digital technologies have led to new methods in all aspects of care. Advances in the application of dental materials to replace missing teeth and supporting tissues require broadening the scope of care regarding the materials selected for patient treatment needs. Merging traditional prosthodontics with innovation means that new materials, new technology, and new approaches must be integrated within the scope of prosthodontic care, including surgical aspects, especially regarding dental implants. This growth occurred while emphasis continued on interdisciplinary referral, collaboration, and care. The Third Edition of the Parameters of Care for the Specialty of Prosthodontics is another defining moment for prosthodontics and its contributions to clinical practice. An additional seven prosthodontic parameters have been added to reflect the changes in clinical practice and fully support the changes in accreditation standards.
