Safe Implant Treatment for an 80s Patient with Hypertension and Osteoporosis at Sangil-dong Station Implant

Hello!

I am the director of Seoul Bardi Dental Clinic at Sangil-dong Station.

As people get older,

there are many cases where they hesitate to receive dental treatment

due to systemic medical histories.

Today,

this is the implant treatment process for an 80s patient

who was taking medication for hypertension and osteoporosis.

Especially in cases with a history of taking osteoporosis medication,

many people worry about whether implant treatment is possible.

We are sharing a case in which treatment was completed safely

through a thorough check of systemic diseases

and a step-by-step treatment plan.

Initial Evaluation Sangil-dong Station Implant Example Case An 80s patient visited the clinic

for an implant consultation

for an empty space in the lower front teeth.

The examination results at the time were as follows.

Loss of some lower front teeth and molars

Taking hypertension medication

5 months since the last osteoporosis medication dose

All insurance-covered implants already used

Some front teeth with a tilted bite alignment

Need to check the bite alignment of existing upper restorations

Sangil-dong Station Implant

For patients with systemic diseases, especially those with a history of taking osteoporosis medication,

there are items that must be checked before implant surgery.

Detailed Pre-Surgery Checklist Sangil-dong Station Implant

1. Confirm the period of discontinuation of osteoporosis medication
2. Review the list of currently taken medications
3. Check blood pressure control status
4. Perform a detailed diagnosis of bone density and bone condition at the surgical site
5. Review the possibility of internal medicine consultation if needed

In this patient’s case,

5 months had passed since stopping the osteoporosis medication,

and after closely reviewing the bone condition at the surgical site,

we determined that there was no problem with implant placement

and decided to proceed with treatment.

Treatment Plan Lower front tooth implant placement scheduled Design considering the bite relationship with existing restorations Allow sufficient adaptation period and finish the front teeth

Lower front tooth implant surgery

Safely performed while monitoring the systemic condition

Bone grafting also performed in the necessary area

25.5.7

We continuously checked the patient’s blood pressure and overall condition

throughout the procedure,

and it was completed without any special problems.

Prosthesis fabrication and adjustment Sangil-dong Station Implant In front tooth implant treatment,

the adaptation period is a very important stage.

Especially in a case like this,

where there are existing restorations

and the bite alignment is not perfect,

the teeth are allowed enough time to adapt

and the issues are identified before

the final teeth are attached.

Communication with the patient Sangil-dong Station Implant During the treatment process,

the patient said the shape of the front teeth looked slightly tilted.

This was due to the bite relationship,

and it was not something that could be solved

by simply correcting one area;

the overall bite line needed to be adjusted.

When treatment is not done all at once,

and the molars are treated at one clinic

while another area is treated elsewhere,

it becomes difficult to harmonize everything

according to the bite line.

If even one part is incorrect,

there is no choice but to fit the teeth to that condition in order to make chewing possible,

so in some cases,

the entire prosthesis may need to be remade

to address the root cause.

However,

from the patient’s perspective,

this may feel like excessive treatment,

and there can also be a financial burden,

so it can become a very difficult situation.

In such cases,

sufficient consultation and explanation are necessary,

and we strive to respect the patient’s opinion

while working to achieve the best possible result.

Final Prosthesis Placement Sangil-dong Station Implant 25.7.10

Reflecting the patient’s feedback,

we checked the bite line as much as possible,

completed the process,

and attached it.

When first receiving treatment,

the patient was very worried because of hypertension and osteoporosis,

but they said they felt most relieved

that the treatment could be finished safely.

Implants are not simply about filling the space where a tooth is missing.

They require a comprehensive consideration of

the overall bite relationship,

the condition of the remaining teeth,

the patient’s systemic health,

and the possibility of long-term maintenance.

Taking all of this into account comprehensively,

making the right plan from the start

becomes the key to successful treatment.

That is why, when patients first visit,

we also take photos inside the mouth

and carefully set up the treatment plan.
