Abstract
Background: Dental implants have been one of the most popular treatments for rehabilitating
individuals with single missing teeth or fully edentulous jaws since their introduction. As more implant
patients are well-aged and take several medications due to various systemic conditions, clinicians should
take into consideration the possible drug implications on bone remodeling and osseointegration.
Objective: The present study aims to examine and review some desirable and unwelcomed implications
of medicine on osseointegration.
Methods: A broad search for proper relevant studies was conducted in four databases, including Web
of Science, Pubmed, Scopus, and Google Scholar.
Results: Some commonly prescribed medicines, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
(NSAIDs), glucocorticoids, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors
(SSRIs), anticoagulants, metformin, and chemotherapeutic agents, may jeopardize osseointegration.
On the contrary, some therapeutic agents, such as anabolic, anti-catabolic, or dual anabolic agents may
enhance osseointegration and increase the treatment’s success rate.
Conclusion: Systemic medications that enhance osseointegration include mineralization promoters
and bone resorption inhibitors. On the other hand, medications often given to the elderly with systemic
problems might interfere with osseointegration, leading to implant failure. However, to validate the
research, more human studies with a higher level of evidence are required.
