Since the beginning of oral implant surgery, it has been recommended to exclude certain patients with systemic health problems from implant therapy. Although many studies have been done about the effect of systemic disease like diabetes and osteoporosis on implant success but there wasn't enough data about the effect of organ transplantation and immunosupresive therapy on implant success in the literature. As the success rate of organ transplantations increased, the number of patients on immunosupressive treatment increased. It has been reported in the literature that organ transplant patients undergoing immunosuppressive therapy may experience periodontal side-effects such as gingival overgrowth and implant failure. In our case 10 year of implant success was examined on the patient who are exposed to kidney transplantation 8 years ago and who takes cortisone and immunosupressive.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
