Clinical considerations of organ transplant patients receiving implant therapy

Abstract

Abstract: Organ transplantation is an effective treatment for end-stage organ disease. Based on the increase in life expectancy, the demand for restoration of missing teeth in organ transplant patients has gradually increased. Dental implants have become the preferred treatment of choice for restoring missing teeth. Although dental implants have high success rates in healthy adults, the risk of implant therapy is correspondingly increased in organ transplant patients with previous systemic diseases and immunosuppressive therapy. In this article, we describe the particularity and success of oral implant therapy in organ transplant patients, and further discuss how to conduct a comprehensive assessment when performing implant therapy in organ transplant patients. Besides, we also discuss how to develop an individualized treatment plan to prevent possible risks and complications, in order to provide clinical references for the implementation of safe and effective implant therapy for organ transplant patients.

Key words: Organ transplantation, Dental implant, Immunosuppressive drug, Implant survival rate
