Further information on dental implantology

The longevity of dental implants essentially depends on how often infections occur. Consideration of this fact - unfortunately not thought about enough - could prolong it so that a significant change takes place: In the hands of experienced specialists the oral implant made of titanium (no matter which type or shape) for a fixed bridge is  preferable to a removable denture. This because of the following improvements: 

- the chewing function and its internistic effects 
- the psychological wellness and self-confidence 
- the socializing ability and the capability of working 

Especially older patients are affected so that in connection with this a new expression was created: Gerostomatology. 

The DZZI-CLINIC has been working as a specialized private clinic since 1991 supported by a private company and unites dental-specific knowledge and the conventional experience of surgical principles of therapy. At the same time oral implantology is offered to those patients who despite of existing vital indication for implantation,    could normally not be treated as an outpatient due to various severe illnesses (i.e. cardiac infarction, bypass, valve implants, diabetes etc.) 

  A tremendous improvement of prognosis also occurs for all patients due to the following procedures: 

 - thorough prevention of infection before, during and after the operation 
 - i.v. nutrition under daily serum control 
 - therefore prevention of infections in the operation area postop 
 - operation under general anesthesia and full rehabilitation of nervous/fearful patients 
 - introduction of general surgical principles into a strictly speaking dental field in accordance to the law-regulations of supervision and hygienics controlled by responsible authorities.
