The relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms and dental implant loss: a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The purpose of this review was to evaluate the relationship between genetic polymorphisms and dental implant loss.

Materials and methods

All case-control studies examining single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and dental implant failure were considered. A Boolean search was conducted on PubMed and Scopus to find eligible studies.

Results

The initial search produced 78 results. Twenty-one studies were considered for inclusion after review and 16 were included in the final review. Twenty-two different polymorphisms were analyzed and statistically significant correlation was found for IL-4, IL-1A, IL-1B, MMP-8, and MMP-1 polymorphisms for dental implant failure.

Discussion

A limited number of comprehensive studies have been done in this field. Addition
