Oral Implantology Review Articles

Oral implantology is a discipline filled with complexity. The field demands its practitioners to have a high level of expertise in a vast array of areas, many of which evolve at a fast rate. Medical clearance is a necessity with respect to patients who present with complicated systemic conditions, medications, and predisposing factors that may lead to complications. The implant clinician must relay to the physician all necessary information, including: (1) an in depth summary of what the patient related as their medical record , (2) list of all current and up to date medications, (3) allergies, (4) any medications which will be prescribed by the implant dentist, and (5) the invasiveness of the intended procedure. With the various opportunities that implant dentistry provides comes a definite responsibility and a sobering reality. Oral implantology may be a difficult field to master, and therefore the consequences of failure are often catastrophic. Patients may be at risk for life-threatening complications. The stresses of surgery during anesthesia pose a life risk for some patients. The various sorts of neurosensory impairments that patients have suffered as a complication of implant treatment are tragic, life changing, and have proven to be costly to the implant clinician. The clinicians who provide this service can enjoy a good lifestyle while providing patients with a second chance at regaining ideal form, function, and esthetics.
