Impact of Thyroid Disorders on Peri-Implantitis: A Comprehensive Review

Abstract

Thyroid disorders, including hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and autoimmune thyroid diseases, have garnered attention as potential contributors to peri-implantitis, a debilitating inflammatory condition affecting dental implants. This review synthesizes current literature to elucidate the intricate relationship between thyroid dysfunction and peri-implantitis. It examines the underlying pathogenic mechanisms, such as hormonal imbalances, immune dysregulation, and altered bone metabolism, which may predispose individuals with thyroid disorders to peri-implant complications. Furthermore, the review discusses the clinical implications of thyroid dysfunction on peri-implant health, including increased susceptibility to peri-implant inflammation, compromised wound healing, and reduced treatment outcomes. Additionally, therapeutic considerations and management strategies tailored to patients with thyroid disorders and peri-implantitis are explored, emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and personalized care approaches. By enhancing our understanding of the effects of thyroid disorders on peri-implantitis, this review aims to inform clinical decision-making and improve treatment outcomes for affected individuals.
