Single Stage Implant

Single stage implants involve placing the implant and healing abutment in one stepp.

Single-stage implants, also known as immediate loading implants, are designed for efficiency and quicker recovery. As opposed to two-stage implants there is no requirement for a second procedure in order to reveal the implant. It makes it easier to perform and speeds up recovery and is regarded as an option that is permanent.

So What is a Single Stage Implant?

• Implant dentistry offers various solutions, and single-stage implants are one of the most efficient options available.
• Specially designed implants are used for single stage implants. Their unique grooved structure boosts bone gripping force by 4–5 times.
• Nanotechnology in these implants speeds up bone fusion, reducing treatment time. The nano-shaped surface allows flexible positioning in the bone for different teeth options.
• These special implants enable direct screwing of coatings without adhesives, providing broader tooth support. This prevents long-term issues from adhesives.

Traditional vs. Single-Stage Implants – Comparison

• Single stage implant treatment uses permanent zirconium-plated implants, not temporary solutions.
• Waiting time for traditional implants (2 to 6 months) is reduced to just 3 days.
• The key difference with two-stage implants lies in the mechanism; single-stage implants use specially designed screws for high bone attachment, allowing bone cells to form around the implant.
• Application methods vary, and only trained doctors can perform this treatment. Special coatings on single-stage implants require training for both the coating technician and the dentist.
• Scientific publications show single stage implants are more successful than classical two-stage implants when applied correctly.
• Single-stage implants allow for immediate restoration, meaning the crown can be placed soon after the implant.
• Your treatment doesn’t proceed in stages. This is a particularly cost-effective plan, especially for foreign patients.
• Single-stage Implant procedure utilizes a specialized surgical kit. It also involves the use of specific tools, including the Implantmed Physiodispenser for preparing the implant bed, the Piezomed Piezosurgery Device for osteotomy, and the ISQ-Implant Stability Quotient device for measuring implant stability.

Single Stage Implants are ideal for:

• Anyone needing a single tooth replacement.
• Individuals aged 18 and older with fully developed bones.
• Those in good health without conditions that might complicate surgery.

Single Stage Implants Recovery Timeline:

• In the first week, initial healing happens. Patients are advised to follow a soft diet and avoid excessive pressure on the implant area.
• Within 2 to 3 weeks, swelling and bruising usually decrease, allowing patients to slowly return to normal activities. However, strenuous physical activities should still be avoided.
• During the 4 to 6 week period, soft tissues continue healing, and the implant integrates with the jawbone. Patients should be cautious when consuming hard or crunchy foods.
• Between 3 to 6 months, the osseointegration process continues, and the implant securely settles into the jawbone. Patients can gradually return to their regular diets and oral care routines.

Possible Risks for Single Stage Implants:

• Infection at the site of implantation (rare)
• Little pain and discomfort

Dental Implant Healing Process

In total, the healing process will take several months.

First Week: Initial healing begins, and patients are advised to follow a soft diet and avoid excessive pressure on the implant area.

2 to 3 Weeks: Swelling and bruising usually subside, allowing patients to gradually resume normal activities, though strenuous physical activities should still be avoided.

4 to 6 Weeks: Soft tissues continue to heal, and the implant integrates with the jawbone. Caution is advised when consuming hard or crunchy foods.

3 to 6 Months: The osseointegration process solidifies the implant in the jawbone. During this period, patients can gradually return to their regular diet and oral care routine.

Single stage dental implant can last a lifetime. However, good oral hygiene and care are important for maintaining the functionality of the implant and implant-supported dentures. If possible, you should use dental floss to remove all food particles.

History

Single-stage implants have a history tied to dental implant development in the 20th century. Originally, there was a two-stage approach, involving two surgeries. Single stage implants changed this by doing both implant and abutment placement in a single surgery. This eliminated the need for a second uncovering procedure. As time passed, improvements in design and techniques made single stage implants more common. Nowadays, they’re widely used because they reduce treatment time and make the process simpler for both dentists and patients. Ongoing research keeps improving this technology in dental implant procedures.
