Factors affecting the life of full-mouth implant dentures

The life of full-mouth implant dentures is related to the following factors:
1. Systemic factors of the patient: such as severe diabetes, peri-implant inflammation, and severe periodontal disease, which will affect the overall life of the implant;
2. Oral hygiene habits: Some patients think that dental implants are pure titanium and do not need to be cleaned. This is wrong. Oral hygiene is the most important part of dental implant maintenance;
3. Regular review: It is an important factor in the life of fixed dental implants. Many patients have periodontal disease or poor oral hygiene, which is prone to tartar. Bacteria will adhere and tartar will form around the implant and on the teeth. If you do not check regularly or clean the area, peri-implantitis is likely to occur, leading to alveolar bone absorption around the implant and loosening of the implant pins;
4. Chewing habits: Some patients like to eat hard things, such as bones, chicken feet, or even bite beer bottle caps. The hardness of natural tooth enamel can be compared with diamonds, but bad biting habits can cause tooth fracture or collapse. The upper part of the implant is supported by porcelain teeth, which are brittle and more prone to this. Therefore, use and chewing habits are very important;
5. Night bruxism: For implants, you should always pay attention to night bruxism. Some middle-aged men have relatively developed chewing muscles and are prone to night bruxism when they are under great mental stress. Night bruxism is a bad combination for implants, and active treatment and protective measures should be taken.
