Dental Implants and Transplant Patients
Last Updated: Jun 20, 2006
Dan, a prospective dental implant patient, asks us:
I am three years post-liver transplantation.
I am on Immunosuppressant therapy.
My dentist recommeds dental implants over
dentures for my upper mouth. Have dental implants proven successful in
transplant patients? How much greater is the risk of infection?
