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.
