Abstract

This study explores the relationship between postoperative stress and the success of dental implants, focusing on the influence of psychological factors. Psychological stress after surgery is a significant, yet often overlooked, component affecting healing and osseointegration processes. The research analyzes how elevated levels of anxiety and stress can impair immune function, increase cortisol levels, and negatively impact bone regeneration, ultimately reducing implant success rates. In contrast, patients with lower stress levels tend to experience faster recovery and better implant stability. The study also highlights the importance of incorporating psychological support and stress-reduction strategies, such as counseling, breathing exercises, and meditation, into postoperative care plans. The findings suggest that addressing psychological well-being may enhance implant outcomes and overall patient recovery.
