Abstract

Abstract: With the development of solid organ transplantation treatment technology, the survival period of patients is gradually extended, and the demand to restore missing teeth is increasing. In long-term clinical practice, implant therapy can be used as a safe and effective program to restore stomatognathic function. However, the impacts of primary disease and lifelong immunosuppressive therapy after transplantation on bone metabolism increase the risk of osteoporosis, fracture, and other diseases, and bring potential hazards to implant osseointegration. Therefore, stability of condition after transplantation, control of oral infection during the perioperative period of implantation, implant loading time, and regular follow-up examination are particularly important in the implantation treatment of such patients. In this review, we discuss the effects of solid organ transplantation on bone and implant osteoporosis, the progress and precautions of oral implant treatment, so as to provide guidance for dentists.

Key words: Solid organ transplantation, Immunosuppressor, Dental implant
