Implants - contraindications and complications

Contraindications: 

·        poor general health of the patient,

·        unhealed teeth

·        periodontal disease or mucosa,

·        inadequate in terms of quality and quantity of alveolar bone, which prevents implant placement (bone formation is possible to the extent where there will be problems with the implant),

·        poor oral hygiene,

·        tumors,

·        AIDS,

·        osteoporosis and other rheumatic diseases,

·        hypertension,

·        diabetes,

·        mental illness,

·        allergies,

·        addictions: alcohol, cigarettes, drugs,

·        certain medications (eg steroids). 

Dentists in Poland tell us that implant treatment does not apply to patients under 16 years of age, because of their bone development still continues. It is also not recommended to use implants for the treatment of persons over 65 years of age. 

When tooth loss occurs we also loses the alveolar bone. This process may be inhibited only by implanting implants in Poland. Often, however, patients do not know this and so when they decide on implant treatment, they face the problem of too little bone, preventing the establishment of the implant. In such cases, the bone is regenerated using bone grafts from other parts of the body or via the special preparations that stimulate bone growth.
