Interview With Dr. Susana Perdigoto - Implantology

 
 
Which are, in your opinion, the main innovations in the area of Implantology over the last few years?

There have been many innovations in the area of Implantology. In my opinion, the main innovations are related to the implants' surfaces which are responsible for a quicker osseointegration, the new implant designs with anti-rotational grooves and micro-spirals in the cervical area of the implant and the morse taper.

Many advances have been introduced in the area of biomaterials, which facilitates the implant placement surgeries. At the moment, many of the cases which implied a surgery to collect bone for graft can be performed without the morbidity of a secondary surgery.
 
 
 
In your opinion, what is the difference between a good and a bad implant? What would the perfect implant be like?

In my opinion, the difference between a good and a bad implant is the type of titanium used in their manufacture, the surface treatment, as well as the quality of the prosthetic elements.

To me, the perfect implant would have a slight antibacterial neck, so that there would not exist bacterial aggregation, micro-coils in the first 2 mm and the remaining coils would be self-tapping.

The implant would be practically cylindrical, with anti-rotational grooves, rounded apex and morse taper. The surface treatment should result in an osteoinductive implant. The perfect implant should also have many prosthetic solutions, in order to be able to manage rehabilitations similar to the natural tooth.

TMD the disease of modernity! What is TMD (temporomandibular dysfunction)?

 
TMD is the set of changes associated with the joint that allows to open and close the mouth and all structures and functions that influence this movement. What I feel if suffering from this condition?

If you have this condition you may experience pain in the face and mouth, headache, pain in the cervical spine, pain and ringing in the ears and difficulty opening and closing the mouth with or without crackles. It may also be associated with grinding of teeth and clenching of teeth (bruxism) and stress and depression.
 
 
 

Whom should I contact when I have these pains?

 
Treatment for this condition involves the multifactorial intervention of several health professionals, preferably working in a multidisciplinary team. The dentist trained in temporomandibular dysfunction, physical therapist with training and experience in the field, psychologist and if necessary the intervention of the maxillofacial surgeon are the reference professionals. In the west area you find the specialized treatment of this condition in klinicas Périoimplantológicas Rainha D. Leonor in Caldas da Rainha and Turquel (Alcobaça). Know that 70-80% of patients with TMD suffer from headaches (headaches) Vs 20% of the population without TMD.
