Although dental implants are highly successful in healthy patients, medical risk factors can significantly compromise outcomes. Therefore, clinicians must be familiar with the effect of systemic health factors on implant osseointegration. Are there relative or absolute contraindications to implant placement? Or, should we just make sure our patients optimize their medical conditions before implant surgery is performed? This presentation will discuss implant procedures in smokers, diabetics, osteoporotics, and patients taking various medications.
Learning Objectives:
This course will provide updates on medical risk factors and medications that may affect implant osseointegration.
This course will discuss how to maximize osseointegration in medically compromised patients.
This course will discuss alternative protocols to improve outcomes in smokers, diabetics, and patients taking anticoagulants.
