- Title
Patient-Mediated Concerns: Is There a Limit to the Prescription of Implant Therapy?
- Authors
De Grandmont, Pierre; De Koninck, Louis
- Abstract
The article looks at dental implant treatments, focusing on the limitations, if any, to the prescription of implant therapy. Implant-supported dental prostheses are markedly superior to complete dentures, but the author considers whether they should be viewed as superior to natural teeth with pulpal or periodontal pathologies. The ability to restore dentition and provide adequate periodontal support are the two most important factors in the decision-making process for the restoration and maintenance of altered dentition.
