Abstract
Purpose: This large-scale retrospective study aimed to examine the long-term effect of antiplatelet and anticoagulant medications intake on dental implant treatment outcome.
Materials and methods: This study retrospectively examined data from patients who underwent dental implant procedures at several university dental clinics within the BigMouth network between 2011 and 2022. Patients' characteristics including age, gender, ethnicity, race, tobacco use, systemic medical conditions and intake of antiplatelets and anticoagulants were analyzed. Implant treatment outcome was the main outcome variable. Implant failure was defined as the removal of a dental implant for any reason. Time to failure (date of procedure to date of visit with failure) was recorded, while sites without a failure were censored at the last follow-up visit.
Results: A total of 50,333 dental implants in 20,842 patients over 12 years were analyzed and an implant failure rate of 1.4% at the implant level and 2.7% at the patient level were found. Asians, African-Americans, American Indians or Alaskan Natives, and White individuals were significantly more likely to receive antiplatelet medications than Hispanics or Latinos. Males and smokers exhibited significantly higher odds of being antiplatelet and anticoagulant users compared to females and non-smokers, respectively. When the implant survival rates between antiplatelet and anticoagulant users were compared to non-users, no significant differences were observed.
Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, it appears that the use of anticoagulant and antiplatelet medications does not affect the risk of implant failure. Both anticoagulant and antiplatelet users and non-users exhibit similar high implant survival rates.
期刊介绍：
Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery founded as Mund-, Kiefer- und Gesichtschirurgie is a peer-reviewed online journal. It is designed for clinicians as well as researchers.The quarterly journal offers comprehensive coverage of new techniques, important developments and innovative ideas in oral and maxillofacial surgery and interdisciplinary aspects of cranial, facial and oral diseases and their management. The journal publishes papers of the highest scientific merit and widest possible scope on work in oral and maxillofacial surgery as well as supporting specialties. Practice-oriented articles help improve the methods used in oral and maxillofacial surgery.Every aspect of oral and maxillofacial surgery is fully covered through a range of invited review articles, clinical and research articles, technical notes, abstracts, and case reports. Specific topics are: aesthetic facial surgery, clinical pathology, computer-assisted surgery, congenital and craniofacial deformities, dentoalveolar surgery, head and neck oncology, implant dentistry, oral medicine, orthognathic surgery, reconstructive surgery, skull base surgery, TMJ and trauma.Time-limited reviewing and electronic processing allow to publish articles as fast as possible. Accepted articles are rapidly accessible online.Clinical studies submitted for publication have to include a declaration that they have been approved by an ethical committee according to the World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki 1964 (last amendment during the 52nd World Medical Association General Assembly, Edinburgh, Scotland, October 2000). Experimental animal studies have to be carried out according to the principles of laboratory animal care (NIH publication No 86-23, revised 1985).
