Contraindications for dental implantation

Dental implantation is a modern and very progressive way to restore a completely lost tooth or several teeth. But, despite all the advantages of this procedure and the opportunity to give the client a new tooth, modern dentistry considers the procedure to be necessary only when there is a presence of strictly defined indications. Moreover, today it is recommended to carry out implantation only in the absence of a result from orthopedic methods.

The suspicious attitude of dentistry towards implantation is quite understandable and justified, since this procedure is a serious surgical intervention. In many ways, the success of the operation is determined by the presence of indications and the absence of contraindications for its implementation. Therefore, implantation is carried out only with strict adherence to all requirements and conditions. Indications for implantation are determined only by an experienced doctor, but every patient should know about certain contraindications and the possibility of complications.

Exists contraindications for implantation absolute, relative, general, local, and temporary.
