Dental implants in the periodontal patient.
The principal reason for providing periodontal therapy is to achieve periodontal health and retain the dentition. Patients with a history of periodontitis represent a unique group of individuals who previously succumbed to a bacterial challenge. Therefore, it is important to address the management and survival rate of implants in these patients. Systematic reviews often are cited in this article, because they provide a high level of evidence and facilitate reviewing a vast amount of information in a succinct manner.
