Abstract
This article examines the effectiveness of the osseointegration process depending on age and psychological stress. Osseointegration is the phase in dental implantation that ensures the fusion between the bone and the implant. The success of this process is influenced by many factors, among which the patient’s age and psychological state play a significant role. Based on clinical observations, it has been found that the metabolic activity of bone tissue in younger individuals and the impact of stress on the immune system directly affect the success of osseointegration. Higher effectiveness of osseointegration was observed in younger patients, while in older patients, the process was slower and had a higher rate of failure. Moreover, increased stress levels—especially long-term and high-intensity stress—can lead to negative outcomes in osseointegration. This article presents clinical findings on the impact of age and stress on the osseointegration process and provides recommendations aimed at improving treatment strategies by considering these factors.
