Dental implants. Permanent replacement for lost teeth.

Implant complications are rare, but they can include nerve injury, bone loss, infection, injury to adjacent teeth and their supporting structures, premature loss of implants or the prosthesis fitted on the implant, bone fracture, and oroantral (ie, mouth, maxillary sinus) and oronasal (ie, mouth, nose) fistulae. Oral implants represent a new technological possibility. Whether it is used to replace a single tooth, several missing teeth, or an entire dentition, dental implants restore the feeling of having one's own natural teeth. This can improve the patient's physical and psychological health.

Hiding in plain sight: detection of oral cancer.

As caregivers, nurses must educate the public. Even though the doctor or dentist is involved in treatment, the main responsibility for cancer prevention lies with the individual. More knowledge is considered the first step. Nurses must teach people to look after their bodies with healthy lifestyle habits in terms of rest, exercise, good nutrition, and environment. They must develop the habit of self-examination and be knowledgeable of symptoms that need medical attention.
