Dental Implants in The Medically Compromised Patients

Abstract The replacement of missing teeth by dental implants is currently the gold standard in dental rehabilitation. However, their placement in medically compromised patients presents unique challenges and considerations. Medically compromised conditions, including diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases, osteoporosis, immunosuppressive states can influence the healing process, osseointegration, and the overall success rate of dental implants. This review aims to explore the impact of systemic health conditions on dental implant outcomes and to outline the risk assessment and management strategies for these patients. Nevertheless, individualizing treatment plans based on the patient's medical condition, consultation with the medical team, and long-term monitoring are critical.
