Questions and Answers

In what ways does smoking and radiotherapy impact the success rate of dental implants?

Smoking and radiotherapy are associated with a higher risk of implant failure, with smoking increasing the risk by 35% and radiotherapy increasing the risk by 70%.

What systemic conditions may modify the treatment plan for dental implants?

Systemic conditions such as uncontrolled hypertension, intake of anticoagulants, patients on bisphosphonate therapy, or patients with psychiatric conditions may modify the treatment plan for dental implants.

Is poor glycemic control an absolute contraindication for implant therapy for patients with diabetes?

No, poor glycemic control is not an absolute contraindication for implant therapy for patients with diabetes, provided that appropriate accommodation for delays in implant integration are considered.

Why is a thorough systemic evaluation important prior to planning for dental implants?

A thorough systemic evaluation is important prior to planning for dental implants because systemic conditions can influence bone turnover, wound healing, and the success rate of dental implants. It is crucial to consider factors such as smoking, radiotherapy, diabetes, hypertension, anticoagulant use, bisphosphonate therapy, and psychiatric conditions in the treatment plan.
