Who is not a good candidate for dental implants? Let s talk about the people who are suitable for de

There is a certain age limit for dental implants.

1. For children and adolescent patients, it is necessary to wait until the completion of jaw development before dental implants, generally need to wait until adulthood, boys and girls are not exactly the same, boys may have to wait until 19-20 years old, girls may have to wait until 18-19 years old.

2. For the elderly, advanced age is not an absolute contraindication, as long as the patient's whole body and oral local conditions allow, implant restoration can be performed. However, the tissue healing ability and immunity of elderly patients have decreased, the incidence of various chronic diseases has increased, the risk of implant surgery and the risk of complications are relatively high, and the ability of oral hygiene maintenance of elderly patients has decreased, which will have a certain impact on the success rate and service life of dental implants. At this time, it is necessary to pay attention to the general health of the elderly, as long as the general health allows, for the elderly, there is no upper age limit.

There are two main categories of patients who are not suitable for dental implants:

The first major category is systemic diseases. Systemic diseases include heart disorders such as heart failure, myocardial infarction within six months, unstable angina, active rheumatic heart disease, and hypertension. In addition to heart disease and high blood pressure, there is also diabetes.

There are also patients with liver and kidney insufficiency, psychiatric diseases, and hyperthyroidism that are not controlled, as well as patients who are pregnant.

The second category is diseases of the jaw. The jaw is required to be normal and free of tumors. In addition, the density of the jaw should be appropriate, osteoporosis should not occur, and some drugs such as bisphosphonates should not be taken for a long time, and patients with osteoporosis should not be implanted.

It does not mean that we can do dental implants if we are missing teeth, and there are also conditions for doing dental implants, such as people with severe bone loss and gum recession are not suitable for direct dental implants, which can easily lead to dental implant failure. Other conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, blood diseases and other conditions are not suitable for dental implants, so whether or not dental implants can be done depends on the actual situation of the patient, and these hospitals will conduct a detailed examination of the patient's oral condition before doing dental implants.

Some explanation for this problem can be provided.

1. Osteoporosis: Osteoporosis will have a certain impact on the success rate of dental implants. The main reason is that the artificial tooth root is difficult to successfully fix in the alveolar bone and is prone to failure.

Because patients with osteoporosis are not suitable for dental implants due to severe bone decalcification. However, if the osteoporosis is not severe, patients with mild osteoporosis can choose dental implants with the permission of the doctor after preoperative examination and improvement.

2. Diabetes: Patients with severe diabetes are not easy to heal the wounds on their bodies. Therefore, the healing ability of alveolar bone and soft tissue during dental implantation is very poor, and it is difficult to complete the combination with the artificial tooth root, so dental implant is more likely to fail.

If the blood sugar is usually controlled at about 7 and the blood sugar is relatively stable for a period of time before and after the implant, the success rate of the dental implant will be relatively high.

3. Smoking, drinking, and poor diet: Generally, mild smoking and drinking do not have such a big impact on dental implants. However, if it is heavy smoking and drinking, it will lead to narrowing of the blood vessels in the mouth, resulting in insufficient blood in the mouth, and it is easy to make the soft tissues injured during dental implants not easy to heal.

It is easy to lead to the failure of dental implants. Therefore, people who have heavy smoking and drinking habits should choose to quit smoking and drinking alcohol before dental implants. At the same time, if you usually eat sour and hard foods, it will also cause damage to the alveolar bone and make it easy for dental implants to fail.

4. Patients with chemotherapy and radiotherapy: Because the drugs used by patients with chemotherapy and radiotherapy will cause damage to bone cells, they may not be able to osseointegrate with the artificial tooth root. Therefore, dental implants are not recommended for patients with chemoradiotherapy.

At the same time, patients with endocrine problems such as thyroid disease are not recommended to have dental implants immediately because bone metabolism will be affected, and they are prone to problems such as acute infection. It is safer to wait until your health is better before choosing dental implants.

5. Women who are pregnant and give birth: women who are in menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth, lactation, etc., because of the serious loss of calcium and silver traces in the body, or women in menopause, the loss of calcium is also more, at this time, the combination of dental implants and tooth roots is not good, which is easy to lead to the failure of dental implants. Therefore, these women in the special reed period are not recommended for dental implants.
