Abstract
The aging of the Spanish population and the impact of some metabolic diseases that affect bone metabolism may interfere in the placement of dental implants. Osteoporosis affects bone quantity and quality; therefore, dental implant placement could be risky. Studies report direct association between dental implant failure and osteoporosis, but it is not significant. Despite in osteoporosis quantity and quality are affected, it is seen an appropriate bone formation around the implant and the percentage of bone-to-implant contact is similar in both healthy and osteoporotic subjects. Furthermore, there is no relationship between marginal bone loss and the presence of osteoporosis. There is no information that contraindicate dental implant placement in osteoporotic patients, although more studies are necessary.
