[Implants and suprastructures for edentulous patients. Overview of diagnosis and treatment].
Patients often consider costs of more importance than the quality of dental care. Due to the high prices inherent to quality, financial considerations may force patients to choose for second best solutions for their dental problems. But even when an optimal option, in this case oral implants, has been chosen, a permanent success is not guaranteed if the oral hygiene is lacking or if the dentist decides to use a less adequate implant system. The present article describes which implants should be used in what circumstances. The advantages and disadvantages of a number of implants are described.
