Almost everyone has heard about such a method of dental restoration as implantation. Today, this is a widespread practice, a common surgical procedure... And how was implantation treated before? Let's consider interesting facts proven by scientists.
The most convenient implants
Gost Larsson is the first man who decided to participate in the experiment of introducing pins. He suffered greatly because he was missing the entire lower dentition. The operation was successful, and the implants took root without complications. The volunteer thanked the doctors for a long time and talked about how convenient the implants were.
The most ancient implants
For the first time, implantation became known back in the 18th century. Not so long ago, scientists discovered an interesting find in the form of a human jaw. Several teeth were attached with implants, they were made from clam shells. Approximately, this ancient find is about 700 years old.
The most expensive implants
When developing the first implants, there was a question about the manufacturing material. There were many options, each of them was tested: wood, clay, etc. One day, during the procedure, they decided to try to insert a gold implant. It has successfully taken root without complications, however, such implants are currently not available due to the very high cost.
The most beautiful implants
Previously, jewelry was worn not only on the ears, but also on the teeth. Nowadays, this fashion was introduced by the soloist of one of the foreign bands. His implant and crown consisted of a diamond. His smile was truly "glowing." After this incident, it is generally believed that the most beautiful teeth are made of diamonds.
The most durable implants
Titanium is considered to be the strongest material for making implants. The positive properties of this material were confirmed only in 1971. At that time, titanium was used to make not only the implant itself, but also the upper part — the abutment and crown. According to statistics, such constructions take root very quickly without any complications.
Today, of course, some facts will seem like fiction. It's pretty crazy to hear that wood and other fragile materials were previously used to make implants. To date, everything has been improved, sterile and effective! If you want to install implants, contact dental clinics.
