Abstract
Considering oral implant surgery in patients with systemic diseases might be a challenge in certain cases. Medical evaluation of dental implant patients should be perfectly evaluated in order to avoid major complications and achieve better outcomes. One of the main factors that should be assessed in the medical evaluation of these patients is the use of drugs by patients. The pharmacological effects of common medications used by the patient, the complications that the implant can cause, and the precautions to take are absolutely necessary to be considered by the surgeon. Particularly, certain medications used in the treatment of diseases such as type II diabetes mellitus, hypertension, heart disorders and osteoporosis expose some risks for implant therapy. In this presentation; dental implant planning, some critical factors to be considered in the surgical stage and the success of implant placement in patients who are on various medications will be evaluated.
