Objectives: The goal of this systematic review was to critically appraise the existing evidence evaluating osteoporosis' effects on dental implant osseointegration and survival rate.
Data Source: A search was conducted in two databases, PubMed/MEDLINE and Scopus, until October 2024, using the keywords 'osteoporosis,' 'osteopenia,' 'osseointegration,' and 'dental implants'. The inclusion criteria were clinical studies that evaluated the implant placement, complications, and osseointegration results in patients with osteoporosis; literature reviews and clinical studies addressing the outcome were considered; and articles written in English and published since 2000.
Article Synopsis
- Osteoporosis negatively impacts dental implant success, leading to a review focused on how implants integrate with bone in animal models with induced osteoporosis to discover factors that could enhance success rates.
- A thorough database search was conducted for studies published from 2002 to 2023, specifically looking for research on osseointegration in osteoporotic conditions, using strict inclusion and exclusion criteria for animal studies.
- Out of 204 articles screened, 43 studies were selected that examined bone-implant contact (BIC) along with other parameters like bone area and volume, with a risk of bias assessed in the included studies.
