Systemic Conditions and Medication Use in Older Patients Undergoing Dental Implants: A Nationwide Cross‐Sectional Study

Most older patients who underwent implant surgery had systemic diseases, and approximately 10% were prescribed medications. Cerebrovascular and kidney diseases increased the risk of implant removal, whereas osteoporosis or antiresorptive therapy decreased the risk. With the increasing use of DOACs, IV bisphosphonates, and denosumab, clinicians carefully review the medical histories of older implant patients.
