Systemic Factors Affecting Prognosis of Dental Implants.

Clinicians who place and restore implants are always concerned about the success and longevity of the same. There are several local and systemic factors that affect osseointegration and the health of the peri-implant tissues. In this study, we review the systemic factors that can affect implant survival, osseointegration, and long-term success. The study highlights the importance of delineating, and taking into consideration these systemic factors from the planning phase to the restorative phase of dental implants. A thorough medical history, including prescription and over-the-counter medications, is vital, as there may be numerous factors that could directly or indirectly influence the prognosis of dental implants.
