Appropriate age for dental implant treatment
Sometimes a young people lose his/her teeth because of an accident. The first question here is “What is the appropriate age for dental implant treatment?”
And the answer is “it is recommended to wait until 18 when the final growth of bone and teeth is completed”. After this period it is allowed to have dental implant so that implant will not seem to be shorter than the other teeth.
Dental implant in young people before the age of eighteen may results to some problems such as a row of implant prostheses will cause a pressure and prevent skeletal growth.
