Organ Diseases and Dental Implant Treatment

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and renal disease are two major diseases which threaten human health. CVD with high prevalence have influences on many aspects of human body such as blood supply and oxygen supply. In the first part of this chapter, we elaborate the oral health status and periodontal condition in patients with CVD. Issues needed to be paid attention for CVD patients during preoperative, perioperative and postoperative periods are demonstrated in detail. The second part of Chap. 4 provides a thorough overview of precautions for performing dental implant treatment in patients with renal disease. Last two chapters focus on implant treatment among patients with thyroid disorders and hepatitis; although the further relationship between the prognosis of dental implants and these two diseases has not been largely reported, we summarize the key considerations for dental implant practitioners when facing these compromised patients.
