Abstract :

Nowadays, dental implants have become a good treatment option for replacement of missing teeth. But Patient selection is one of the key factors for the success of implant therapy, which indicates that, a thorough medical history should be carefully registered together with the assessment of the complexity of the involved surgical site. A number of systemic conditions have been reported to complicate or even contraindicate implant surgery, with different levels of evidence. Since the number of medically compromised patients requiring implant surgery is potentially increasing, understanding the effect of any systemic disease (and associated medications) on the surgical procedure and the final treatment outcome in relation to implants is of paramount importance. This critical review aims to present a summary of the available knowledge on this topic and patient management.
