Wet, hydrophilic implants provide several prominent and dramatic advantages during healing, recovery, and even in the expected lifespan of the implants.
1 First, the use of these implants helps accelerate the process of osseointegration (healing and building of bone around the implant).
2 The wet implant comes in a moist, wet package and is able to absorb the patient's blood onto its surface more easily.
3 During treatment, blood adheres to the structure of the implant, in a way that is beneficial for fast and good healing.
Scientifically, what happens is that the implant surface remains moist and creates faster and better fusion with the bone (new bone cells are formed more quickly). This type of implant attracts more blood cells, more stem cells, and even immune system cells.
4 When performing the procedure correctly and using hydrophilic implants, you get a strong, durable implant that gives a natural feeling that can serve patients for life.
5 The implant of this type is connected in a unique way to the structure (tooth crown), in a way that allows for exceptional durability. This is in contrast to regular implants, which tend to break down more over time.
Agents used to wet implant surface:
Normal saline can be used, some Implant specialist prefer antimicrobial agents like metronidazole, ciprofloxacin or amicacin. These agents increases implant to bone contact and also increases success rate of procedure too. for more details can consult specialist dentist.
