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.

Dental implants were discovered by accident!

Modern dental implants in Poland as we know them today were actually discovered by accident! In 1952 the Swedish Professor Per-Ingvar Branemark was working on a clinical research project using rabbit bone and titanium metal. The aim of this research was to examine the blood flow within a rabbit bone using an implant titanium chamber.

Once his experiment was done and all the data collected, Professor Branemark tried to remove the implant chamber, only to discover that the rabbit bone had actually bonded with the surface of titanium metal!

For many hundreds of years dentists tried to find a substance which would successfully replace teeth, a substance that could remain permanently fixed in the jaw and wouldn’t be rejected by the body.

The discovery of titanium’s complete biocompatibility led to a breakthrough in dentistry. Nowadays, dentistry in Poland uses thousands of implants every year!
