Risks and countermeasures of dental implant treatment in osteoporosis patients
Osteoporosis(OP)is a systemic skeletal disease with the main characteristic of reduction of bone density and low bone mass.With the increasing age of the population,the incidence of OP increases year by year.Replacement of missing teeth with dental implants is one of the most common treatment options with a high success rate.However,in patients with OP,deterioration of bone tissue may lead to an increased risk of implant failure.Although OP is not a contraindication for implant therapy,clinicians should still pay great attention to associated risk factors.This article discusses the alveolar bone modeling and remodeling,the success rates of dental implants,the influence of anti-osteoporosis drugs,and the strategy of dental implant treatment in OP patients for clinical reference.
