Why should you worry about dental implants 

if you have chronic diseases such as diabetes, 

hypertension and osteoporosis?







People with diabetes, hypertension, 

osteoporosis or other chronic illnesses have difficulty

 in dental implant surgery when it’s needed. 

For small clinics or where there are no specialists,

it is recommended to go to a specialized hospital or a University hospital.






What are the risks?




< Dental Implant for diabetic patients >


Diabetic patients often have inflammation and

 bleeding due to lack of insulin and they are more likely 

to have gingivitis, periodontitis and cavities.


For these reasons, there is a high probability 

of bleeding or inflammation after implant surgery.


There is a possibility that it may have more general oral issues

 than any one problem. Therefore patients with diabetes

 need cooperative care with other departments of dentistry 

such as conservative dentistry, Prosthodontics, Periodontics etc..





< Dental Implant for hypertension, cardiovascular patients >


Patients with hypertension and cardiovascular disease 

may experience hemostasis problems and sudden rise

 in blood pressure during surgery. 

Therefore dental implant surgery itself is not easy for them.

For that reason, patients with hypertension and those 

with cardiovascular disease need to finish the surgery

 with a minimal incision and control bleeding within a short time.





< Dental Implant for osteoporosis patients >


Patients with osteoporosis may have a direct effect on bone 

and may cause osteonecrosis after dental implant placement.

Because of the drugs that treat osteoporosis have the effect 

of inhibiting the activity of osteoclasts (cells that destroy bone) 

so that the bones are no longer weakened, 

as this affects the success of implant surgery.


When osteoclasts are activated, 

osteocytes (cells that produce bone) are also activated.

After the dental implants are placed,

 the osteoclasts are required to create new bones around them, 

so that the implants fixture can be firmly fixed.


Medicines for osteoporosis can interfere with the process.




For the above reason, 

patients with chronic diseases such as diabetes,

 hypertension and osterporosis must inform about their

 medical history including medication, and also they need to be

 treated after enough consultation with an experienced medical staff about the disease. 


If the surgery of a patient with chronic disease fails

 (failure of implant fixture after the surgery or failure of implant placement itself), 

it is often difficult to re-do the surgery.

Therefore it is advisable to pay close attention to those hospitals

 that offer only cheap cost and do not consider systemic disease

 and lastly having consultation with your doctor before

 treatment is even more important.
