Before undergoing any surgical procedure, including CorticoBasal® dental implants, a thorough evaluation of your overall health is critical. At Simpladent Clinics in Delhi NCR, patients are advised to undergo specific blood investigations to determine systemic readiness and to mitigate any surgical risks. These tests help ensure the success and longevity of full mouth dental implants by guiding treatment planning with a clear understanding of the patient’s biological condition.
Here are the essential blood tests and what they indicate:
1. Complete Blood Picture (CBP)
This is a baseline test that evaluates red blood cells, white blood cells, hemoglobin, and platelets. It helps identify hidden infections, anemia, and any immunocompromised status. An optimal CBP ensures the patient has adequate clotting ability and no active systemic inflammation.
2. HbA1c (Glycated Hemoglobin)
HbA1c provides a 3-month average of blood sugar levels. Ideally, values below 7% are preferred for dental implant procedures. Poor glycemic control is associated with impaired wound healing, making it imperative to stabilize diabetes prior to the placement of permanent dental implants.
3. Glucose – Fasting
This test assesses real-time blood sugar levels after an overnight fast. Normal fasting glucose levels should be under 100 mg/dL. Elevated values may increase the risk of post-operative infection and compromise osseointegration.
4. INR (International Normalized Ratio)
INR evaluates the blood’s clotting ability. A value close to 1 is optimal. If the INR is too high, there’s a risk of excessive bleeding during surgery. If too low, it may signal a clotting disorder. It is a crucial blood test, particularly for senior patients.
5. C-Reactive Protein (CRP)
CRP is a marker for inflammation. Elevated CRP values may indicate an ongoing infection or systemic inflammation, which can interfere with the healing process of full mouth or single-tooth dental implant procedures. A normal CRP level ensures a stable biological environment for successful implant integration.
