KENOSHA, WI, April 19, 2014 (Press-News.org) In recent years, missing permanent teeth are more often being permanently replaced by dental implants-a type of restorative procedure. Unlike dentures and dental bridges, dental implants require a surgical incision into the gum tissue and jawbone, so a dentist can place the screw-like implant. This allows for the jawbone cells to attach to the implant, the process also known as osseointegration.
The advantages of a dental implant include permanence, esthetic appeal, comfort and convenience. A patient can treat it with care just like his/her natural teeth, and the jawbone area fused to the implant stays intact, instead of receding. It's obvious why patients are choosing a dental implant.
However, for Dr. Todd Armstrong, dentist in Kenosha, a dental implant also chooses the patients. Dental implants have a high success rate due to the patients having qualities of a good candidate: good oral health practices, no underlying health conditions and sufficient amount of jawbone.
Dental implants are a fitting choice for patients over the age of eighteen. Thus, age is one of the most important factors of a successful dental implant. While patients under the age of 18 can also experience serious decay and trauma that could result in tooth loss, their restoration of choice shouldn't be a dental implant.
The reason why is because younger patients, who are still growing, also have to remember the jawbone is also a part of the body that is still under development. Placing a dental implant in a growing jawbone can have adverse affects.
"It's not entirely true that everyone can be a dental implant candidate. There are certain qualities that we need to factor in to ensure the best outcomes possible. The dental implant consultation will determine if the patient can receive a dental implant," says Dr. Armstrong, Kenosha dentist.

Counterfeit contraceptives found in South America
2014-04-19
A survey of emergency contraceptive pills in Peru found that 28 percent of the batches studied were either of substandard quality or falsified. Many pills released the active ingredient too slowly. Others had the wrong active ingredient. One batch had no active ingredient at all.
To detect the fake drugs, researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology developed a sophisticated approach using mass spectrometry to quickly assess suspected counterfeit drugs and then characterize their chemical composition. The study's results highlight a growing concern for women's ...
Treating depression in PD patients: New research
2014-04-18
LEXINGTON, Ky. (April 21, 2014) -- A group of scientists from the University of Kentucky College of Medicine and the Sanders-Brown Center on Aging has found interesting new information in a study on depression and neuropsychological function in Parkinson's disease (PD).
Published in the journal Psychiatry Research, the study, which assessed cognitive function in depressed and non-depressed patients with PD, found that the dopamine replacement therapy commonly used to treat motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease was associated with a decline in cognitive performance among ...
Flipping the switch
2014-04-18
Harvard researchers have succeeded in creating quantum switches that can be turned on and off using a single photon, a technological achievement that could pave the way for the creation of highly secure quantum networks.
Built from single atoms, the first-of-their-kind switches could one day be networked via fiber optic cables to form the backbone of a "quantum Internet" that allows for perfectly secure communications, said Professor of Physics Mikhail Lukin, who led a team consisting of graduate student Jeff Thompson and post-doctoral fellow Tobias Tiecke to construct ...
MRI, on a molecular scale
2014-04-18
For decades, scientists have used techniques like X-ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (NMR) to gain invaluable insight into the atomic structure of molecules, but such efforts have long been hampered by the fact that they demand large quantities of a specific molecule and often in ordered and crystalized form to be effective – making it all but impossible to peer into the structure of most molecules.
Harvard researchers, however, say those problems may soon be a thing of the past.
A team of scientists, led by Professor of Physics and of Applied ...
Stanford researchers rethink 'natural' habitat for wildlife
2014-04-18
Protecting wildlife while feeding a world population predicted to reach 9 billion by 2050 will require a holistic approach to conservation that considers human-altered landscapes such as farmland, according to Stanford researchers.
Wildlife and the natural habitat that supports it might be an increasingly scarce commodity in a world where at least three-quarters of the land surface is directly affected by humans and the rest is vulnerable to human-caused impacts such as climate change. But what if altered agricultural landscapes could play vital roles in nurturing wildlife ...
Finding turns neuroanatomy on its head
2014-04-18
Harvard neuroscientists have made a discovery that turns 160 years of neuroanatomy on its head.
Myelin, the electrical insulating material long known to be essential for the fast transmission of impulses along the axons of nerve cells, is not as ubiquitous as thought, according to a new work lead by Professor Paola Arlotta of the Harvard Stem Cell Institute (HSCI) and the University's Department of Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology, in collaboration with Professor Jeff Lichtman, of Harvard's Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology.
"Myelin is a relatively recent ...
