Implant Therapy
Michael M. Bornstein, Dr Med Dent1/Norbert Cionca, Dr Med Dent2/Andrea Mombelli, Prof Dr Med Dent3 Purpose: To evaluate whether systemic diseases with/without systemic medication increase the risk ofimplant failure and therefore diminish success and survival rates of dental implants. Materials andMethods: A MEDLINE search was undertaken to find human studies reporting implant survival in sub-jects treated with osseointegrated dental implants who were diagnosed with at least one of 12 systemicdiseases. Results: For most conditions, no studies comparing patients with and without the conditionin a controlled setting were found. For most systemic diseases there are only case reports or caseseries demonstrating that implant placement, integration, and function are possible in affectedpatients. For diabetes, heterogeneity of the material and the method of reporting data precluded a for-mal meta-analysis. No unequivocal tendency for subjects with diabetes to have higher failure ratesemerged. The data from papers reporting on osteoporotic patients were also heterogeneous. The evi-dence for an association between osteoporosis and implant failure was low. Nevertheless, somereports now tend to focus on the medication used in osteoporotic patients, with oral bisphosphonatesconsidered a potential risk factor for osteonecrosis of the jaws, rather than osteoporosis as a risk factorfor implant success and survival on its own. Conclusions: The level of evidence indicative of absoluteand relative contraindications for implant therapy due to systemic diseases is low. Studies comparingpatients with and without the condition in a controlled setting are sparse. Especially for patients withmanifest osteoporosis under an oral regime of bisphosphonates, prospective controlled studies areurgently needed.
