Age

Young age

Type: absolute

Risks:

• Not enough space to insert the implant in the alveolar bone;
• Insufficient space for the artificial crown of the implant;
• Having to redo the procedure when growth is completed.

Solutions:

• Wait until the growth of the jaws is completed (at the age of 17 or 18);
• Finding an alternative to conventional dental implants.

Note: An advanced age does not pose problems if the patient is healthy.
