Medically Compromised Patients: A Biological and Social Challenge

  • First Online:
Dental Implant Treatment in Medically Compromised Patients

Abstract

Dental implantation has nowadays become a much prevalent restoration for the missing teeth, with osseointegration as the most powerful determinant of its success. Apart from the satisfactory long-term success rate in those patients without profound health issues, it is really hard for dental implant practitioners to cope with those medically compromised patients, even though they are not diagnosed with absolute contraindications of dental implant therapy. These patients pose a biological and social challenge to dentists. As a consequence, way to improve the long-period survival rate of dental implants in these patients turns to be an ineluctable problem. In this chapter, we categorize varieties of disorders that may jeopardize osseointegration or result in dental implant failure and attempt to demonstrate the potential mechanisms referring to the most recent literature. For instance, substance abuse, organ diseases, bone diseases, diabetes mellitus, immune system-related diseases, drug-induced disorders, as well as oral diseases all have the potential to cause peri-implant problems. In addition, we analyze promising precautions, aiming to provide a reasonable protocol for dental clinicians in face of these patients. For more details, readers may refer to the following chapters accordingly.
