Loss of teeth, which is a part of facial aesthetics, causes psychological and social problems. In addition, it causes speech disorders, nutritional and digestive problems and tooth loss. For this reason, the place of the extracted teeth should be filled as soon as possible. Filling is also possible with dental implant treatment. For the application of bridge prostheses, the teeth next to the area where the tooth is missing must be cut. In today’s technology, new artificial tooth roots can be placed without the need to cut healthy teeth. Implant treatment is a treatment performed by applying artificial tooth roots made of titanium and porcelain structures that mimic the function and aesthetics of the tooth on the roots. Implant treatment is a very preferred and applied method today. Various types of implants have been produced, but the most commonly used type is screw-shaped implants. Thanks to implant treatment, people have new artificial teeth with the same comfort instead of the natural teeth they have lost over time and experience the same comfort again.
