DSM White Paper: 81% of Patients Experience Implant Complications with OSA
Paper Summary:
The study titled “Frequency of Prosthetic Complications Related to Implant-Borne Prosthesis in a Sleep Disorder Unit” investigates the frequency of prosthetic complications in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who have implant-supported prostheses. It was found that a significant proportion (81%) of patients experiencing prosthetic complications also had OSA, suggesting a potential correlation between OSA and increased risk of prosthetic issues.
The study concludes with a recommendation for further research to explore the relationship between OSA and prosthetic complications in dental implants, highlighting the need for deeper understanding in this area.
