Abstract
|
|
|
|
The patients with systemic diseases are increasing in aging society at dental clinic of general hospital or university hospital. There are many patients who have difficulty of maintaining and managing of dental implant because patients get new systemic diseases or existing diseases get worse. We experienced the case that a 66 year-old female patient with bruxism and clenching who is under coma due to brain damage removed the dental implant prosthesis under general anesthesia. So we considered the maintenance and management of implant in patients with severe systemic diseases. Cement-retained implants have high retention and fracture resistance of implant prosthesis but low retrievability. Screw-retained implants have low retention and fracture resistance of implant prosthesis but high retrievability. We should select the method of maintenance carefully because the patients with systemic diseases increase in aging society.
