Overview
Dental implants can be used in pediatric dentistry for absence of teeth. However, placement of implants in children must consider facial growth, which continues until late adolescence. Growth in the maxilla and mandible does not happen uniformly in one plane. Anterior mandible has the greatest potential for early implant placement, while the anterior maxilla poses the highest risk due to unpredictable growth. The aim of this book is to discuss the use of implants in young growing children and the influence of maxillary and mandibular skeletal and dental growth on the stability of those dental implants.
