Abstract
The aim of this clinical study was to investigate and compare implant survival rates, marginal bone loss, and surgical and prosthetic complications of healthy patients and subjects affected by hypertension receiving full-arch implant-prosthetic rehabilitation. From January 2016 to November 2016, patients affected by total edentulism of one or both arches or severe impairment of residual teeth who needed full-arch implant-prosthetic rehabilitation and who had the absence of any systemic diseases or the presence of hypertension as a single pathology were randomly selected. According to the inclusion criteria, 39 patients were enrolled for this study. The sample was divided into two groups: A total of 18 patients were included in Group A (healthy patients), and 21 patients were included in Group B (patients affected by hypertension). No statistically significant difference in implant survival rates, marginal bone loss, and prosthetic complications were observed between Group A and Group B. Except for variable bleeding, the results of the Pearson’s chi-square test and z-test at a 99% confidence level suggest that there is no statistically significant difference in clinical complications between the groups. Within the limitations of this study, full-arch implant-prosthetic rehabilitation could be a feasible option for treating patients with hypertension, provided that hypertension is compensated and controlled.
