It is possible to put dental implants with osteoporosis. In addition, most cases of dental implant treatments when suffering from osteoporosis are successful.
Is osteoporosis a problem for dental implant treatment?
Having osteoporosis does not mean a risk compared to dental implant treatment.
Osteoporosis causes a loss in bone density. This can cause problems in the bone of the mouth as well, but it does not happen in most cases.
For a dental implant to be fixed to the jaw, it is essential that the bone is healthy. In other words, the bone has the density, height and thickness necessary for the implant to have adequate support.
But, as we mentioned before, having osteoporosis is not a problem for performing dental implant treatment. On the other hand, there are problems with a high risk of failure in the treatment with dental implants, as in the case of people with the habit of smoking.
What should be taken into account to do a dental implant treatment with osteoporosis?
To be able to carry out a treatment with dental implants when suffering from osteoporosis, the specialist must carry out an evaluation, to know the state of bone mass in the maxilla.
It is important to also check what types of medications are prescribed for osteoporosis. If you have taken bisphosphonates for a long time, you should take special care in surgical procedures, take some blood tests before performing the procedure.
In addition to all of the above, it is always essential to evaluate the general health of the patient and their habits, before performing a dental implant treatment.
