Implantology and Sjögren's Syndrome

Until now it has not been investigated whether placement of implants in SS patients is less successful than compared to non-SS patients. The risk factors and the efficacy of dental implants in dry mouth patients are not known because of the lack of scientific evidence. The aim of this study is to investigate changes in marginal peri-implant bone loss and the clinical performance of dental implants in SS patients compared to implants in healthy patients.
