What is the risk associated with smoking and radiotherapy in relation to implant failure?

Smoking is associated with a 35% higher risk of implant failure, while radiotherapy (before or after implant placement) is associated with a 70% higher risk of implant failure.

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

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

What are some other medical conditions that may modify the treatment plan for dental implants?

Other medical conditions that may modify the treatment plan for dental implants include uncontrolled hypertension, intake of anticoagulants, patients on bisphosphonate therapy, and patients with psychiatric conditions.

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 alter bone turnover or wound healing process, and certain conditions like smoking and radiotherapy are associated with higher risk of implant failure.

Test your knowledge on systemic factors affecting dental implants with this quiz. Learn about the impact of conditions like smoking and radiotherapy on bone turnover and wound healing, and how they can influence the success of dental implant procedures.
