Evaluation of dental implants failure rate in medically compromised patients: A randomized case control study

Dental implants in the medically compromised patient.

OBJECTIVE It has been suggested that some local and systemic factors could be contraindications to dental implant treatment. The objective of this paper was to evaluate whether success and survival rates of dental implants are reduced in the medically compromised patient. DATA/SOURCES An extensive literature search was conducted using PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Scirus and Cochrane databases up t...

Evaluation of Usefulness of Implants in Medically Compromised Patients: a Retrosceptive Study

Dental endosseous implants in the medically compromised patient.

The literature contains numerous observations on the significance of systemic disorders as contraindications to dental endosseous implant treatment, but the justification for these statements is often apparently allegorical. Although implants are increasingly used in healthy patients, their appropriateness in medically compromised patients is less equivocal. Perhaps surprisingly, the evidence o...

Indications and contraindications of dental implants in medically compromised patients: Update

The aim of this study was to review the current scientific literature in order to analyse the indications and contraindications of dental implants in medically compromised patients. A reference research was carried out on PubMed using the key words "implant" AND (oral OR dental) AND (systemic disease OR medically compromised), in articles published between 1993 and 2013. The inclusion criteria ...
