Summary
Systemic diseases and medications can complicate dental implant surgery. Careful patient monitoring and adherence to surgical recommendations are crucial for successful dental implant outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
- Dental Implantology
- Systemic Health
Background:
- Systemic diseases and their treatments can impact dental implant procedures.
- Patient safety and successful outcomes necessitate careful management of systemic conditions during implant surgery.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review evidence on dental implant survival and success in patients with systemic diseases.
- To provide surgical recommendations and practical suggestions for clinicians managing these patients.
Main Methods:
- Systematic review of existing literature.
- Evaluation of implant survival/success rates.
- Analysis of surgical recommendations for medically compromised patients.
Main Results:
- Evidence on implant survival in patients with systemic diseases was assessed.
- Surgical considerations and potential complications were identified.
- Practical clinical suggestions were formulated based on the reviewed evidence.
Conclusions:
- Managing systemic diseases is critical for dental implant success.
- Clinicians should be aware of potential complications and follow specific recommendations.
- Proactive patient monitoring improves safety and implant outcomes.

The Oral Microbiota
81
The oral microbiome includes a complex ecosystem comprising over 700 microbial species, identified through genomic sequencing and culture-based analyses to date. This community includes a core microbiome, found universally among individuals, and a variable component influenced by environmental factors such as diet, lifestyle, and host genetics. Site-specific conditions, including oxygen gradients, pH levels, and nutrient availability, determine the spatial distribution of these microorganisms...

Teeth

The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...
