Can Viagra Cause Implant Problems?
Last Updated: Feb 04, 2007
J. asks:
I am an oral and maxillofacial surgeon with a very busy dental implant practice. Within the last two months, three of my implants in two patients failed to integrate. Both of the patients were healthy middle-aged men without any significant negative factors in their pre-surgical assessment or medical workup. Since I was using one of the best implant systems of the world and I was sure that there was no flaw in surgical technique.
I decided to scrutinize their past medical histories. I found out that both of the dental implant patients have been taking Sildenafil (Viagra) before coitus. I am very eager to know if any of my other colleagues have any experience or comment in this regard that can help us all in the future.
