Effects of ABO Blood Types on the Survival and Marginal Bone Resorption of Dental Implants

Implant Tissue Failure Clinical Trial

Official title: Effects of ABO Blood Types on the Survival and Marginal Bone Resorption of Dental Implants

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study evaluates implant survival and marginal bone resorption in patients receiving implant treatment with respect to demographic data and AB0 (groups) blood types.

Clinical Trial Description

For a successful dental implant, optimal soft and hard tissue characteristics are required. These characteristics include appropriate bone quality and a healthy adherent keratinized gingiva that surrounds the implant neck. The most common complications are peri-implant diseases and marginal bone loss for dental implants. Marginal bone loss around the implant may be observed as a long-term complication due to microbial dental plaque-induced peri-implant inflammatory disease or may be observed in the absence of such a disease.

The immune system and genetic factors are known to have important effects on implant success, and ABO blood types are also included in the genetic factors. In the studies evaluating the association of ABO blood types with increased susceptibility to infection and various systemic diseases, it was reported that the percentages of blood types differed significantly, especially in skeletal-muscle system injuries, fractures and cardiovascular disease susceptibility. Also some researchers reported that blood types may be effective on the bacteria colonization which is the main reason of the periodontal diseases. ABO blood types may have an impact on dental implant success and survival. ;
