(P) Implantul dentar după 60 de ani: vârsta este o contraindicație?

Many elderly patients mistakenly believe they are too old for dental implants. However, age alone is not a contraindication. Studies show that implants can be successful even in patients over 75, provided chronic conditions are managed. The International Team for Implantology states that systemic diseases should be seen as risk modifiers rather than absolute exclusions. Successful outcomes depend on individual health assessments, including bone quality and control of existing conditions. Solutions like all-on-6 implants offer viable options for edentulous elderly patients, with high survival rates. Proper oral hygiene and regular check-ups are crucial for long-term success.
