Core Tip

Core tip: This systematic review focused on failure rates and percentage of osseointegration of dental implants in healthy and osteoporotic subjects. Definitive conclusions regarding the impact of osteoporosis on dental implant therapy cannot be made at this time. Clinically, it could be suggested that osteoporotic subjects can receive dental implant therapy.
