Peri-implantite from the use of bisphosphates: a review

Nowadays, it is increasingly common to have dental implants rehabilitated, which has the function of playing the same role as the root of a lost tooth, returning a more aesthetic and reliable smile to the patient. It is a piece of biocompatible titanium that will be attached to the bone to replace one or more teeth. When evaluating a patient who will be submitted to the placement of implants, we must take into account the systemic health, hygiene and some medications used by it, especially the bisphosphonates (BP). The objective of this study was to evaluate, through a literature review, the occurrence of peri-implatite due to the use of bisphosphanates. Bisphosphonates (BP) are inhibitory drugs of bone resorption, capable of modifying bone remodeling, acting directly on osteoblasts (bone reconstruction) and osteoclasts (bone resorption), thus generating a bone tissue with little blood supply and discharge density. It was concluded that the prior knowledge of the professional about the undesirable effects of this substance and the correct management in patients who use bisphosphonates is of paramount importance.
