Abstract:
Oral implantology is a new treatment alternative and is often considered for treating the loss of teeth in patients of all ages. However, care has to be taken when using implants in younger patients, as implants in the growing patient can have considerable disadvantages. In this article indications, contra-indications and risks are discussed and an overview of conventional treatment alternatives is given. Finally, guidelines for the use of implants in children and adolescents are formulated.
