Dental implants in medically complex patients with substantial atrophic jaw
Abstract
Dental implants are a well-known and reliable treatment option for rehabilitating partial or total edentulism with a high survival rate. The osseointegration process entails a direct structural and functional integration between the implant and bone. Successful osseointegration relies on the appropriate function of the biological processes. Hence, any elements affecting bone healing and regeneration may also affect osseointegration, perhaps leading to early implant failure or peri- implant disease. Systemic diseases and the regular use of systemic medicines are such an example.
Most patients may need dental implants at an advanced age. As people get older, the likelihood of systemic illnesses increases, which could affect the success and longevity of implant-supported prostheses (ISP). Moreover, extremely atrophic jaws are not a surprising finding in elderly individuals. Treatment alternatives based on implant-supported prostheses (ISPs) may be almost impossible in individuals with a combination of systemic diseases and extreme atrophy. Complex bone augmentations are required. This is exactly the niche for the well-trained maxillofacial surgeon. It is imperative for surgeons to become familiar with the indications, precautions, contraindications and evidence-based assessment of patients concerning the survival/success of planned implants/bone augmentations in the elderly, systemic ill with extreme jaw atrophy on a daily basis, to ensure the best outcome for patients
