 What restorations are possible with Core-Vent Implants²?

做完种植体需要什么样的修复呢？

1. Replace a single toot.

种植单个牙齿：

One implant¹ with a crown can replace a single missing tooth, eliminating the need to prepare adjacent natural teeth.

缺失牙种了一个种植体，就在上面做单冠，可以取代不做种植的情况下直接做桥，这样不必将2个邻牙备牙。

2. Eliminate a Partial denture:

无需局部义齿：

Implants can be used as support for a fixed³ bridge by either connecting to natural teeth or to other implants.

种植体通常可以作为桥的支撑点与其他真牙或种植体相连。

3. Stabilize⁴ a denture:

使义齿保持稳定：

A removable denture can be retained by several implants while still being supported by tissue.

几个被口腔组织支撑着的种植体可以保留原有的活动义齿。

4. Retain and support a denture:

保留和支撑活动义齿：

A removable denture can be retained and supported by four to six implants joined by a bar.

至6个相连的种植体可以保留和支撑一个活动义齿。

5. Support a complete bridge:

支撑全口桥：

Jaws⁵ missing all the teeth can be restored with fixed bridges anchored by 5 or 6 implants.

若是全口牙齿缺失，可以做固定桥修复，而五至六个种植体就可以支撑这个全口拱形桥。

This restoration is removable only by your dentist.

当然这种修复需要你的牙医根据情况来设计。

Am I a candidate for Core-Vent Implants?

那么，我可以做种植吗？

Generally, anyone who is healthy enough to have routine extractions can be considered for dental implants.

总的来说，凡是身体健康，做过正常拔牙的人都可以做种植。

The main limitation is the amount of available bone,

是否适合种植主要看你的牙骨情况是否允许，

which can usually be determined⁶ by a clinical and radiographic examination.

What inconvenience will I experience?

做完种植后会有哪些不舒服或者不便呢？

Most patient report only minor⁷ discomfort⁸ similar to that associated with a simple tooth extraction.

大多数病人做完种植后的不适症状与简单拔牙后的相似。

When the patient wears a Partial of full denture prior to the surgery, the denture can often be modified with a soft lining⁹. This surgery provides little disruption of normal business or social activities.

如果病人手术后戴局部义齿，这种义齿通常用一种很柔软的材料修整，这时候你会感到正常工作和社交有所不便。

牙齿种植需要多少钱？

The fee varies from one case to another depending on the complexity¹⁰ and the number of implants needed.

牙齿种植的费用根据病例复杂程度和所需种植的数量不同而有区别。

The overall expense is comparable to the investment in fixed bridgework.

但总体费用相当于你不做种植而做相应的固定桥的费用。

How long will my implants last?

我的种植牙可以用多长时间？

调查表明一旦骨结合情况良好，种植牙就可以使用和长一段时间。

Studies have shown that Core-Vent Implants achieve osseointegration on a highly consistent basis.
