Local aspects<br />

General local prerequisites for implant placement are a stomatognathic system without<br />

infectious diseases and apparently healthy b<strong>on</strong>e at <strong>the</strong> recipient site. Local c<strong>on</strong>traindi-<br />

cati<strong>on</strong>s include temporary c<strong>on</strong>traindicati<strong>on</strong>s and local risk factors.<br />

1. C<strong>on</strong>traindicati<strong>on</strong>s<br />

severe unc<strong>on</strong>trolled systemic diseases, metabolic b<strong>on</strong>e disorders, -unc<strong>on</strong>trolled<br />

haemorrhagic diseases, uncooperative/unmotivated -patient, drug or alcohol abuse,<br />

psychosis, prol<strong>on</strong>ged treatment-resistant functi<strong>on</strong>al disorders, xerostomia, reduced<br />

immunity, diseases with periodic use of steroids, titanium allergy, unc<strong>on</strong>trollable<br />

endocrine diseases.<br />

2. Relative c<strong>on</strong>traindicati<strong>on</strong>s<br />

Previously irradiated b<strong>on</strong>e, diabetes mellitus, medical anticoa-gulati<strong>on</strong>/haemorrhagic<br />

dia<strong>the</strong>sis, bruxism, parafuncti<strong>on</strong>al habits, -unfavorable b<strong>on</strong>e anatomy, tobacco abuse,<br />

unc<strong>on</strong>trolled -period<strong>on</strong>titis, temporomandibular joint disease, pathological jaw disease<br />

and oral mucosal abnomnalities amenable to treatment, pregnancy, inadequate<br />

oral hygiene.<br />

3. Temporary c<strong>on</strong>traindicati<strong>on</strong>s<br />

p Insufficient b<strong>on</strong>e volume at <strong>the</strong> future implant site is today c<strong>on</strong>sidered <strong>on</strong>ly a<br />

temporary c<strong>on</strong>traindicati<strong>on</strong> because a number of different b<strong>on</strong>e rec<strong>on</strong>structive<br />

techniques have been developed for ridge augmentati<strong>on</strong> prior to or simultaneous<br />

with implant placement (Buser et al. 1994; Buser et al. 1996; v<strong>on</strong> arx et al.<br />

1998; v<strong>on</strong> arx & Kurt 1998).<br />

p Untreated period<strong>on</strong>titis must be adequately addressed prior to initiati<strong>on</strong> of<br />

implant <strong>the</strong>rapy. Possible cross-infecti<strong>on</strong>s from period<strong>on</strong>tally diseased teeth to<br />

implants should be prevented by period<strong>on</strong>tal <strong>the</strong>rapy and a proper maintenance<br />

protocol (mombelli & Lang 1992; meffert 1993; mombelli 1993; cune & de<br />

Putter 1996; Gouvoussis et al. 1997).<br />

p a residual root at <strong>the</strong> implant site also poses a temporary c<strong>on</strong>traindicati<strong>on</strong><br />

and should be removed prior to implant placement. in special cases, <strong>the</strong> root can<br />

be immediately replaced by a dental implant.<br />

p<br />

any local infecti<strong>on</strong> or pathologic c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong> of <strong>the</strong> b<strong>on</strong>e and <strong>the</strong> covering soft<br />

tissues must be adequately treated weil before implant placement.<br />
