In general patients with hyperthyroidism can get dental implants. Hyperthyroidism itself may not pose a direct risk to dental implant surgery, but there are considerations to be aware of: 1.Bone Density: Hyperthyroidism can affect bone metabolism. It's important to assess the patient's bone density to ensure there is sufficient support for the implant. 2.Medication Interactions: Some medications used to manage hyperthyroidism might interact with anesthesia or medications given during the dental implant procedure. The surgeon and endocrinologist/ physician should be aware of all medications the patient is taking. 3.Healing Process: Hyperthyroidism can influence the healing process. Close monitoring and potential adjustments to the post-operative care plan may be necessary to promote proper healing. 4.Thyroid Storm Risk: In rare cases, hyperthyroidism can lead to a thyroid storm, a life-threatening condition. Stress, including surgical procedures, could potentially trigger this. It's essential to manage the patient's thyroid condition before elective dental implant surgeries. 5.Always consult with both your surgeon and endocrinologist to discuss your specific case and address any potential risks or adjustments needed for dental implant surgery.
