Dental implant treatment is no longer a novel and experimental method, instead, it has become one of the primary options for restoring lost teeth. This technique must be carefully considered and applied to patients with disabilities to improve their oral function and quality of life. Despite its benefits, patients with disabilities are often hesitant to undergo oral reconstruction using implants, particularly those with severe disabilities who may face challenges during treatment due to communication difficulties, lack of cooperation, and involuntary movements. These challenges may lead to uncertain treatment outcomes and prognoses. This paper reviews the critical factors to consider when performing oral reconstruction using implants in patients with severe disabili ties. Considering these factors, the uncertainty associated with treatment can be reduced, and the reconstruction using implant prostheses that can be maintained over the long term can be contemplated.
