In which diseases can implants not be placed?

Implantation is an operation to restore missing teeth. Instead of the removed tooth, an implant is placed in the jawbone, and a crown is fixed on top. Like any surgical intervention, implantation has absolute and relative contraindications and limitations.

Contraindications that make the procedure impossible are called absolute:

age up to 18 years,

malignant tumors of the head and neck,

therapy aimed at suppressing the immune system (radiation, chemotherapy),

violation of blood coagulation, complication of stopping bleeding, wound treatment,

metabolic disorders that slow down wound healing and bone regeneration,

immune system diseases

chronic kidney and liver failure,

central nervous system disorders

congenital anomalies of the jaw that interfere with implant placement,

chronic alcoholism, drug addiction,

tuberculosis in the acute stage,

osteoporosis.

There are also a number of obstacles related to dental problems that make the placement of implants impossible;

poor oral hygiene,

caries, pulpitis of adjacent teeth,

radicular periodontitis, cysts, granulomas,

infectious diseases of the oral cavity (gingivitis, periodontitis, stomatitis),

bruxism (uncontrollable grinding of teeth),

dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint, which prevents opening of the mouth,

insufficient amount of bone or soft tissue in the area of ​​implant placement,

bite anomalies.

After oral hygiene, bite correction and bone and soft tissue augmentation, implantation becomes possible and the risks of implant rejection are eliminated.
