Dental Implants in Pediatric Dentistry

Implant dentistry is the second oldest field in dentistry, and dental implants have gained immense popularity for the prosthetic replacement of lost teeth in adults, becoming a common practice. The widespread use of implants is attributed to their numerous benefits and long-term success. However, the use of implants in children remains controversial and has not yet gained widespread acceptance. Implant placement in young children could be an ideal solution for missing teeth, as it helps restore function, preserve alveolar bone, and provide excellent aesthetics, ultimately boosting the child's confidence and social acceptance. This book explores the various applications of dental implants, the factors to consider before implant placement, and the pros and cons of implant placement in children.
