Dental implant outcomes in postmenopausal women undergoing hormone replacement
1Department of Periodontics, School of Dental Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, USA.
Abstract:
To determine if hormone supplementation reduces the risk of failure for osseointegration of dental implants in postmenopausal women, the treatment outcomes of 116 women older than age 50, treated with 450 endosseous dental implants, were analyzed in this retrospective study. The findings indicated that hormone replacement therapy may not be linked with improved outcomes of endosseous dental implant treatment in postmenopausal women. Smoking, however, appears to significantly increase the implant failure rate in the group observed in this study.
