Difference between implants and natural teeth


Implants and natural teeth is the difference?

The implant is called the second permanent teeth

And implants, artificial teeth to replace lost teeth, the second is permanent teeth. Embedded in the jaw bone of an artificial tooth root, put a little more teeth with artificial teeth look natural on it. Not only look better, you can chew with his teeth as well. Does implants and natural teeth (his teeth) is what's different? Differences in tissue around the implant and natural teeth

"Characteristics of natural teeth"

That periodontal ligament
Fibers are perpendicular to the root surface
There are three blood supply from one direction

"Characteristics of the implant"

There is no periodontal ligament (direct contact with bone)
Running fiber to the root surface is horizontal
There are two directions of the periodontal ligament blood supply

Natural teeth, periodontal ligament is present, to release the power of the bite, is said to act as a cushion. Meanwhile, the implant is unreasonable since there is no periodontal ligament stress (such as teeth grinding force) are vulnerable to. This is also a finite element analysis are shown.

Exist in the periodontal ligament and nerve, and the implant has the ability to avoid excessive force when the addition of these capabilities are not available.

The implant is in fibers running vertically is not running (Buser D 1993), the blood supply of two-way (gums and bone) and less so, has also been suggested that the less protective response against infection (Ericsson 1992, Lindhe 1992, marinello1995). In addition, Buser (1993) by them, driving the fiber is reported to have been driving around the body as seen from the upper annular implant.

As mentioned above, so inferior to the implant to natural tooth to prevent infection, to give long and will require careful brushing and periodic inspection.
