same story with you! it seems there is a strong link between titanium dental implants (allergy or metal toxicity) and autoimmune disease/neuroendocrine start. Metal toxins are closely associated with the neuroendocrine system, or itching or urticaria. There are so many high-ranking academic articles on this topic
My Dr insists the persistent infection with my titanium implant (I have just one ) is not due to allergies to the Titanium, but I beg to differ. It’s been 6 yrs. it was gradual from bad to worse. Now I have a massive infection that has affected the lymphatic system. Throbbing inflammation in lower cheek to the lower ear to the neck. Im applying warm compress and then will use my Asian cupping thing to stimulate blood flow. I am considering the Zirconia.
Can we just go without implant or bridge? I had my upper right molar extracted 2 years ago. I do not like titanium. I heard it can damage brain wave. I do not care how I look when I smile. I care about my health.

The zirconia two piece would break but I wonder if clenchers were breaking the one piece zirconia.

@@naimaiherb-ss8op i had zirconia implant a year and a half ago for my molar. I am pleased with it. Carbon fiber is the material they make for the rod to connect the new tooth to the implant. I forget everything about my researches that I did before the implant. You need to do research. Find a good dentist that has experience with at least 30 zirconia implants. I went to holistic dentist. I used pearl noble zirconia. No Carbon fiber. No titanium whatsoever in my mouth. Be sure to have nightguard made so you can wear every night so that you do not clench your zirconia tooth. Zirconia is durable, but we have to protect that new tooth. I paid 5000 dollars for everything, from extraction until the end results.
I’m been immersing myself in these videos for a couple days and from what I’ve gathered ( something that you did not mention here ) is that the titanium is a heavier product which might be a concern and there may also be some clicking noises in the mouth associated while chewing with this metal , are you aware of either of these issues , and if so might either of them be a concern that you bring to your patience?
the discution with my doctor or with any doctor is no use ...because every doctor will recomand his material as the best :))) if you go to each doctor they will recomand you difrent material ...always they say his material is the best :)))) to sell his product is more importamt than what you realy want /nees
is it true that crowns on implants must be placed in some little infraocclusion because natural teeth are connected with periodontal ligament to the bone and are little mobile even in vertical dimension unlike the implant that is "cemented" in the bone and makes direct pressure on it .... well i know its true, if implant-teeth are in same line with natural teeth, than all the bite pressure will be on the implants, even if there is only one of them, so the logic says they must be under the bite-line. What happens when the opposite teeth will reach the bite line ... you know better than everyone ;) .... other logic says that orthodontists use pressure to the bone to be absorbed .... so theory says that the pressure made by dental implant normally goes to continual damage to the bone (i found some info that 1mm per year is a normal bone lost ??!!?? ) ..... well with dental bridges the only damage is 1.5 mm of local teeth that will be instantly covered with crowns , so the teeth will be protected for the next 10, 20 even 30 years and the bite pressure will be normal dental pressure that will stimulate the bone not absorb it. Have a nice day
The titanium may be less conductive . But the s.s. abutment and screw are more conductive . In a wet environment , they generate static charge of micro-voltage . This can permanently interfere with sleep . I love my ceramic molar implant .
The best way to maintain an implant is using a water irrigator such as Orasana waterjet with the implant tip and regular checkups. Brushing and flossing is not as good for implants as it is for teeth
Hi, I would need your advice on implant types. I am considering reverting the damage caused by having my wisdom teeth removed and replace them with implants to prevent bone loss, sinuses problems, face deformity, restore my breathing to normal and have the same good eating functionality. What is the best implant material for this area which involves a strong mastication power? Short story - I just had my fully erupted healthy upper wisdom teeth removed to make space to lift both my upper 1st molars as they started dropping due to missing first molars below. Now I am left with 1cm gap on each side which prevents me from eating, has affected my sinuses, give me headaches , constant ear pressure, breathing problems and made the adjacent teeth to move. On top of this I have a gap left in my cheek due to lack of skin support. I had healthy teeth apart from the missing ones and now I am on a journey that left me with more problems than I had.
Doctor green eyes thanks for telling me titanium is for me I am going to be hitting some all you can eat buffets-and eating lots of candy-and my molars are going to crush masses of food of all textures-it must be high performance all the way because the liquids will be strong brews and different chill temps and hot chocolates/coffee and lots of citris juices for sure-great presentation !
Hi, I was wondering if zirconium implant would be a better alternative for patient with allergy to titanium. As I understand zirconium is a transitional metal in the periodic table. There is still insufficient data to justify the survival rate of the implant. And should it fail the removal process is slightly more invasive than compared to removal of titanium implant, as it is hardly possible to reverse torque, am I right?
The implants are made out of zirconia, which is zirconium oxide, which is a ceramic, not a metal. With Nobel pearl and Zeramex there are 10 years survival rates there are just as good as titanium. It is not difficult to remove either implant with the right tools. In my opinion, the time is right to get a two piece, screw retained zirconia implant.
@@Drsandamoldovan Hi, what do you think about the Nobel pearl? My surgeon wanted to place the Straumman 2 piece Pure ceramic but despite the name it has metal inside the abutment and also uses a metal screw.
