The Influence of Hypothyroidism on Bone Healing and Peri-Implantitis in Dental Implants

Abstract

Thyroid disorders have been linked to peri-implantitis, a debilitating inflammatory disease that affects implant-bearing dental prostheses. These are conditions such as hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid), hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), and autoimmune diseases affecting the thyroid. This review summarizes the most recent research that sheds light on the complicated link between thyroid dysfunction and peri-implantitis. It focuses on the possible underlying pathogenic pathways that could make these people more likely to have their implants fail after surgery due to immune system dysregulation, hormonal imbalance, and worse treatment outcomes. The paper discusses the clinical implications for peri-implant health, including a higher risk of implant inflammation, lower healing ability, and poorer treatment outcomes. The second idea is to apply the implant concept to two different areas of dentistry. We will look at whether thyroid disease and dysfunction have an effect by ignoring the oral cavity and peri-implant disease or taking joint clinical involvement into account. Then we will consider the therapeutic considerations, and the management of patients affected by thyroid disease and suffering from periimplantitis, stressing the pivotal role of dental teamwork and the multifaceted approach to customized treatment. We aim to enhance our understanding of the impact of thyroid pathology and dysfunction. Suppose we include the implant in the generalized oral-systemic association. In that case, we can now broaden the concept to include two topics that are not commonly associated in the dental field: we inquire whether the presence of thyroid pathology and dysfunction influences the decision to ignore the oral cavity and its associated peri-implant disease or to consider joint clinical involvement. Then, we discuss specific therapeutic considerations and the management of patients with thyroid disease associated with peri-implantitis, emphasizing the critical role of dental teamwork and the multipronged approach to customized treatment. We aim to enhance our understanding of the effects of thyroid pathology and dysfunction. In planning this study, the group set out to describe the characteristics of peri-implantitis as a periodontal disease. The group aimed to synthesize knowledge on peri-implantitis and current treatment alternatives. To improve patient outcomes, and support clinical decision-making with current knowledge.
