[Media Report] Artificial dental implants have a 5% failure rate. Addicts, beware. Smoking will make you toothless.
Convergence News Network reporter Li Shengwen/Reporting from Taipei
When dental implants fail, in addition to periodontal disease, the addict may have to blame himself for not quitting smoking first! Domestic dentists have found that in addition to poor oral hygiene, smoking is also a key factor in the success rate of dental implants. Only by quitting smoking and treating periodontal disease as early as possible can the failure rate of dental implants be effectively reduced.
Ye Liwei, director of Modern Dental Clinic, said that most patients have periodontal disease but are unaware of it. Periodontal disease refers to the infection of the gums and alveolar bones around the teeth. Symptoms can range from mild to severe. The mildest symptoms include bleeding when brushing teeth. This is the symptom most easily ignored by ordinary people. If the teeth shake, the gaps between the teeth become larger, or the gums recede, the periodontal disease has become serious and requires longer and patient treatment.
The main cause of periodontal disease is bacterial infection, but factors including poor oral hygiene habits, family inheritance, smoking, reduced immunity due to diabetes, endocrine changes during pregnancy, and middle-aged and elderly people taking certain high blood pressure medications may also aggravate the condition. The literature confirms that the above reasons may lead to the aggravation of periodontal disease.

After dental implants are placed, regular follow-up visits are required for maintenance and examination to ensure that the service life of the implants is prolonged.
Ye Liwei pointed out that through professional oral examination, the signs of periodontal disease can be diagnosed, and appropriate treatment can be given according to the severity of the condition. Especially recently, dental treatment methods have been combined with sedation technology, so that people are no longer afraid of dental visits. They can use drugs or laughing gas to relax their emotions. In severe cases, hypnotic anesthesia can be used to enter a light sleep state. At present, professional dental implant doctors mostly use 3D digital computed tomography for preoperative diagnosis and planning, which can greatly avoid nerve damage, leading to nerve paralysis, sinusitis in the upper jaw and other possible problems.
