Summary

Medically compromised patients can receive dental implants, as few conditions are absolute contraindications. Effective disease management is key to successful dental implant outcomes and improved quality of life.

Area of Science:

  • Oral surgery
  • Periodontology
  • Prosthodontics

Background:

  • Systemic and local factors may contraindicate dental implant treatment.
  • Medically compromised patients present unique challenges for dental implant therapy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate if medically compromised patients have reduced dental implant success and survival rates.
  • To identify medical conditions that may affect dental implant outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • An extensive literature search was performed using major scientific databases (PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Scirus, Cochrane).
  • The search covered studies published up to November 8, 2012.

Main Results:

  • Few absolute medical contraindications exist for dental implant treatment.

  • Certain medical conditions can increase the risk of implant failure or complications.

    • Conclusions:

    • The degree of systemic disease control is more critical than the specific disorder.
    • Individualized medical management before implant therapy is essential.
    • Benefits of dental implants in medically compromised patients often outweigh risks.
