Use of dental implants in patients with cardiovascular involvement. Case report

Abstract

Dental implants are designs used to replace the missing root and keep the artificial tooth in place. It is usually threaded in shape and is made of biocompatible materials that do not produce a rejection reaction and allow its attachment to the bone. The implant surface may have different textures and coatings, usually used to increase its adhesion to the bone. A 61-year-old female patient, with multiple specifically cardiovascular systemic commitments, was presented to our clinic with the purpose of consultation and replacing missing teeth through the placement of multiple implants. A complete clinical history, clinical and radiographic analysis and interconsultation with the specialist were carried out to continue with the appropriate pre-surgical and post-surgical protocols for the patient. 1 extraction was performed and the placement of 6 dental implants without any complications during and after the procedure. The objective of presenting the following clinical case is to demonstrate based on the evidence that the use of dental implants in patients with cardiovascular compromise can be safe as long as specific protocols are followed for the care and prevention of any complications. The literature shows us that the success rate of dental implants is the same in patients with or without systematic commitment, which is why it is considered an option for this type of patient.
