DENTAL IMPLANT

Risk Factors Associated With the Dental Implant Therapy

Introduction

Restorative dentistry has made ??great strides in the last 20 years, the emergence of adhesive systems and dental implants is undoubtedly what has changed the concept of Restorative Dentistry, and have shown us new ways to achieve excellence when return the patient lost anatomy, function, aesthetics and comfort. Dental implants are prostheses that are placed (implanted) in the mandibular or maxillary bone, creating a solid foundation on which you can perform both single tooth restorations, including partial or total prosthesis, and work just like our natural teeth (Jokstad, 2008, 593-6). Dental implants allow us to chew with total comfort, smile and talk to the same security as our own teeth. In this sense, it is important to understand that an implant is nothing more than an "artificial root" and which by themselves mean nothing, they are only useful in terms of offering "support" to prosthesis in all its types. Your dentist can give you complete information on your particular situation and help you decide if dental implants are your solution (Gahlert, 2009, 1247-53).

RISK FACTORS AND HIGH RISK FACTORS

High-risk factors

Serious systemic diseases, such as, Rheumatoid arthritis or disorders of the bone structure, (also called "disease of brittle bone") is considered high risk factors. The Osteoporosis, by contrast, does not represent a contraindication for dental implant application (Crespi, 2008, 753-758).

Patients with immunosuppression caused by viral infections (HIV) or certain medications (corticosteroids, cancer chemotherapy or other immunosuppressive agents) show a significantly impaired the healing process, as well as an inadequate response of the immune system (Gahlert, 2009, 1247-53).

In people who abuse alcohol or drugs and patients with mental disorders and mental, cannot ensure the ability to follow doctor's orders and cooperate with him during treatment and the later stage (noncompliant patients) (Crespi, 2008, 753-758). Risk Factors

If there is a risk radiotherapy vascular fibrosis and thrombosis, resulting in tissue atrophy and the development of nonhealing chronic wounds, for this reason, irradiated bones represent a risk factor when using an implant. It is therefore advisable to observe a waiting period right after radiation treatment (Quirynen, 2007, 203-23).

Severe diabetes, and especially juvenile diabetes (type I), is also considered a risk factor, although adequately controlled diabetes type II is no contraindication to implant treatment of the patient. Predisposition to bleeding in hemorrhagic diathesis and any blood clotting disorder caused by medication should be considered as risk factors for implant treatment software. It has been found that regularly smoking negatively affects long-term prognosis for dental implants (Melo, 2007, 2554-8).

Diseases

among the risk factors during treatment with implants, there are diseases that adversely affect osteogenesis and healing (e.g. poor health, poorly stabilized diabetes mellitus), diseases that can be influences negatively by intervention implant (e.g. endocarditic, heart valve replacement, organ transplants, joint replacements, and arthritis) and bone lesion following radio and/or chemotherapy and certain mental illness(e.g. ex. depressions).
