Dentistry grows in technological market to build a beautiful smile, but one can’t help but take for commercial purposes.
recently appeared in the market of clinical services dedicated to the sale of dental treatments based on the installation of implants. Despite the controversial legal and clinical results, optimists found that the subject “dental implants” was disseminated to the public.
Advertisements broadcast mostly in radio and television allowed the dissemination of correct concepts on a dentistry capable of returning lost smiles, building them on a basis of implant-supported. On the other hand, misconceptions and false expectations were created in a large number of people, to the extent that such clinics promised quick fixes (often immediately), apparently easy and low cost (which was not real), generalized to the vast majority of cases

the health sector cannot deliver results mathematically predictable. Since every guy behaves differently, both biologically, as psychological and behavioural harvests, not coherent offer standardized and widespread dental treatment, targeting the
business interests.
dentistry is undoubtedly a complex profession that requires its practitioners to deep Union scientific knowledge, technical and psychological, interwoven and seasoned with good doses of common sense. One of the great secrets to the pursuit of excellence in dentistry is devoting a good deal of time to thorough planning “clinical” and customized for each case, establishing more than one viable option of treatment, and a well-defined clinical steps sequence (and substantiated in the scientific literature) to achieve the objectives outlined. In this case, the dentistry is more predictable, even with the bias imposed by interindividual variations.
patients are requesting “immediate smiles”:-“Dr. installs immediate implants? I’ll leave with new teeth as has been spoken on TV? ” Since such concepts, as specific and relevant to the area of dentistry, came to the attention of lay people, it is important to expand the universe of information provided, clarifying that there are INDICATIONS and very well defined CONSTRAINTS for the realization of these implant treatment options. Summarize a few cases, and often are only some of the treatment options, which must be assessed together, between the professional and the patient, explaining the possible functional and esthetic results and the risks involved, adapting them to each individual expectation.
Practice this custom and humanized Dentistry, in which the patient is largely the responsibility of the proposed treatment, by signing an informed consent (TFCC), determines a healthy level of partnership between professional and client, which reduces the occurrence of drift during and at the end of treatment.
the immediate implant is inserted or installed within the same surgical procedure in which the lost tooth extraction. In other words, the immediate implant is inserted in a socket “fresh”, and for that to happen, there are some important prerequisites: there cannot be any kind of infection at the site to be deployed; There can be no bone loss at levels that can compromise the fixation of the implant or the aesthetics of surrounding tissues; and, the gum should be thick, abundant and resistant (only 20% of patients have this gingival biotype).
another question is loading – application of masticatory force – about the implants already installed. Generally, this loading can be immediate (performed 24 to 72 hours after the installation of implants) when they are given multiple implants (5) in totally edentulous jaw JAWS (with no teeth) that have sufficient amounts of bone to allow anchoring of implants. It is clear that not all cases can be solved with this treatment option.
On from the above, it is important to stress that the patient-dentist relationship must be established on a basis of trust. Evaluate the quality and education of the professional practice of the dental surgeon chosen becomes crucial when the dream is to have a healthy, functional and esthetic smile. Variables such as “how to invest”, or “how long will it take to get ready” are secondary on the complex process of building a smile based on individual characteristics and
