of developing bone necrosis after an oral surgery, especially
if the drugs are administered intravenously or they are associated with certain concomitant medication.

Chrcanovic BR, Albrektsson T, Wennerberg A. Diabetes and oral implant failure: A systematic review.
J Dent Res 2014;93:859867.
The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to
investigate whether there are any effects of diabetes mellitus on implant failure rates, postoperative infections, and
marginal bone loss. An electronic search without time or
language restrictions was undertaken in March 2014. The
present review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for
Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Eligibility criteria included clinical human studies. The
search strategy resulted in 14 publications. The I2 statistic
was used to express the percentage of total variation across
studies due to heterogeneity. The inverse variance method
was used for the random effects model when heterogeneity
was detected or for the fixed effects model when heterogeneity was not detected. The estimates of an intervention
for dichotomous outcomes were expressed in risk ratio and
in mean difference in millimeters for continuous outcomes,
both with a 95% confidence interval. There was a statistically significant difference (P = .001; mean difference = 0.20,
95% confidence interval = 0.08, 0.31) between diabetic
and nondiabetic patients concerning marginal bone loss,
favoring nondiabetic patients. A meta-analysis was not possible for postoperative infections. The difference between
the patients (diabetic vs nondiabetic) did not significantly
affect implant failure rates (P = .65), with a risk ratio of
1.07 (95% confidence interval = 0.80, 1.44). Studies are
lacking that include both patient types, with larger sample
sizes, and that report the outcome data separately for each
group. The results of the present meta-analysis should be
interpreted with caution because of the presence of uncontrolled confounding factors in the included studies.

A systematic review. Med Oral Patol Oral Cir Bucal
2013;18:e780785.
The development of treated implant surfaces, added to the
increase of the esthetic requirements by patients, has led
to a change in the treatment protocols as well as the development of techniques such as one-phase implants and
immediate prosthetic loading. One of the usual contraindications of implant treatment is the presence of periapical
disease associated to the tooth to be replaced. The aim of
this paper is to review the published literature on immediate
implant placement in extraction sockets of teeth with periapical pathology, considering the level of scientific evidence,
and following the principles of medicine and evidence-based
dentistry. A search of articles published between 1982 and
2012 was conducted. The search terms immediate, dental
implant, extraction, infected, and periapical pathology were
used. The search was limited to studies in animals and humans, published in English. Sixteen articles were selected
from a total of 438, which were stratified according to their
level of scientific evidence using the SORT criteria (Strength

is no contraindication for oral implant therapy. Quintessence Int 2013;44:363371.
Dental phobia is a psychologic disease and a possible
contraindication for implant therapy. The study aimed to
show that implant therapy in dental-phobic patients (DP, test
group) after adequate psychologic and dental pretreatment
(PDPT) is successfully possible and results in a similar implant prognosis as in nonfearful patients (NF, control group).
