Dental implants in patients with periodontal disease

Abstract

This study, through a literature review, evaluated the efficacy of dental implants in patients with a history of Periodontics, analyzing factors that influence their longevity and the consequences of peri-implant complications. It is important to consider that specific maintenance protocols can guarantee success rates similar to individuals without a history of periodontal disease. Implant success rates, risk factors for peri-implantitis and clinical management strategies were proven using descriptive statistical analysis. The findings show that periodontal patients have a higher risk of implant failure and peri-implant bone resorption. Peri-implantitis affected 22% to 45% of cases, being associated with inadequate biofilm control. Strategies such as strict maintenance protocols and implants with modified surfaces reduce complications. The success of Implantology in patients with periodontal disease depends on careful planning, continuous monitoring and preventive interventions, highlighting the need for individualized protocols to minimize risks and improve results.
