ABSTRACT
Systemic conditionsmay be treated with medications or other therapy potentially affecting implants and the tissues carrying them. An existing systemic disease or ongoing systemic therapy may complicate or contra-indicate implant dentistry. An increased knowledge of the underlying disease process has improved the management of patients suffering from bone metabolism abnormalities, diabetes mellitus, xerostomia, and ectodermal dysplasia. The purpose of this review was to evaluate the impact of systemic diseases and their treatment on the success of osseointegration therapy. This review aims to compile and critically discuss currentknowledge of the clinically relevant impact of the most commonsystemic diseases on the success of implant therapy.
