Introduction: Dental implants surgery including guided bone regeneration has become common clinical practice nowadays as it is a well established method for complete or partial edentulous patients’ treatment. A challenge for the clinician is commonly raised in cases where the patient suffers from a systematic disease or a local severe situation. The decision to proceed in dental implant surgery in such cases is often difficult to be taken.
Purpose and Methods: The aim of this study is to present the most recent data regarding the impact of various systematic diseases and conditions in dental implants surgery including guided bone regeneration. Research for this study was done by evaluating papers of the last decade from online databases such as: PubMed, Medline, and Google Scholar.
Results: Although for systematic diseases and conditions the published studies in relation to dental implants surgery are case reports, clinical and meta-analysis studies were also found giving very interesting findings. The most important systematic diseases have been studied, such as diabetes, osteoporosis and other bone diseases, cardiovascular diseases, endocrine or hematologic disorders, lung or liver problems, immunodeficiency etc. Conditions which affect the surgical results as medication, smoking, age, jaw radiation and chemotherapy must be considered before dental implants surgery.
Conclusions: While the level of evidence indicative of absolute and relative contraindications for implant therapy due to systemic diseases is low, it is important to know the implications of the systemic diseases or those produced by medications or various conditions in the oral cavity, in order to prevent failures in patients who are going to receive dental implant therapy or bone regeneration.
