How implants increases the magnitude significantly

The patient should be medically fit to undergo the surgery. Placement of one or two implants is equivalent to relatively minor oral surgery whereas placement of five or six implants increases the magnitude significantly. The medical history should be checked with particular relevance to:

 Poorly controlled diabetes

 Blood dyscrasias

 Medications

 Irradiation to jaws

 Mucosal diseases

 Psychosis

 Substance abuse including tobacco and alcohol

 Need for antibiotic cover
