Since
long time is not anymore discussed the use of titanium needle in dental
implantology.However the technique is useful and the results are good.It
can be appllied in all the cases in which the other approach should
fail, moreover the needle can be used with a minimum trauma. In this
approach the needles are inserted in the mandibolar or maxillary bone.
In this way the artificial teeth are anchored to the needles (1.2 mm
diameter).
The
small diameter of the needle allows to implant them even when the bone
is very thin.
In
this way can be avoided more invasive techniques, as the insertion of
materials to widen the place where to insert more bigger implant. In
fact this second approach is quite painfull, invasive and the results
ara not always good.
The
tecnique here described has been developed by a French dentist named
Scialom.However unfortunately the techniques was left by the most who
had used it.
This
happened probably because any technique needs time to be developed.The
learning curve can, in some instances, be long. In fact a good handling
is needed.The difficulty to apply this techniques by any dentist has
been a limiting factor in the widespread of its use.
More
over the industries involved in this market prefer to favour the use
of techniques that can be used by anyone.
For
this reason it is a pity that this approach is not used in the Faculty
and that few recognize its value.
This
approach allows the patient to have almost immediately fixed teeth.The
pain is reduced.When properly appllied the techniques is easily reproducible.
The
needles are joined by a proper instrument.This instrument was developed
in Genoa by Dr. Pierluigi Mondani.
It
allows to hold toghether rapidly the titanium with no side effects.
In fact the process is so fast that the tissue are not damaged.
However
the use of this instrument is a limiting factor in the wide spread of
the technique. Should be better to admit that the system is excellent
and it requires properly trained dentists.This methodic is complementary
approach to the other available as the technique of Branemark.This last
technique uses quite big implant of a cilindric shape. They need a large
bone to be implanted.
In
my opinion less invasive approach should be applied in the era of endoscopic
surgery.The technique of titanium needle is available tool in the hand
of the experienced surgeon.
