Uncovering Your Oral Health: Laboratory Testing for Dentists
The success of dental implants depends on the quality and quantity of bone available for the implant. Dentists classify the bone based on its shape and density, with more compact and dense bone providing better stability for the implant. In addition to clinical examination, laboratory tests can be used to evaluate the patient’s overall health and determine whether they are a good candidate for the treatment. Understanding the characteristics of the bone is important for predicting the long-term success of the dental implant.
