Why should the elderly not be implanted?
The main reasons why the elderly should not be implanted are as follows:
1.The elderly have reduced physical function, relatively weak immunity and resistance, and are susceptible to infections and complications. Dental implant surgery requires some level of local anesthesia in the mouth, which may increase the risk of surgery in older adults.
2.Dental implant surgery is a complex procedure that requires a certain recovery period. The body of the elderly is relatively weak, and they are prone to postoperative complications such as swelling, pain, etc., and need longer care and recovery.
3.Dental implants require a certain amount of oral hygiene maintenance, and the elderly may have poor oral hygiene, which may lead to complications such as peri-implantitis, which can affect the longevity of dental implants.
4.Older people don't have as much bone density and elasticity as younger people, so dental implant surgery requires accurate implant angles and depths. If the surgery is not done properly, it can cause damage to the surrounding teeth and even lead to serious oral problems.
5.Dental implants require a certain amount of financial investment. Older people may have insufficient financial means to afford dental implant surgery.
In summary, the reasons why the elderly are not suitable for dental implants include decreased physical function, weak recovery ability, poor oral hygiene, bone density and elasticity problems, and insufficient economic conditions. Therefore, the elderly should have a comprehensive understanding of their physical condition and oral condition before considering dental implants, and make decisions under the guidance of a doctor.
