In recent years, literature has shown that patients allergic to penicillin have significantly
higher rates of implant failure than non-allergic patients. A cross-sectional study
by Salomó-Coll et al.,
[1]
with a sample of 1,210 patients, found that penicillin-allergic patients had 3.8-times
higher risk of implant failure compared with non-allergic patients. Similarly, French
et al.[2]
performed a retrospective study evaluating the survival and infection complications
of 5,576 implants. The odds ratio of failure for implants placed in penicillin-allergic
patients were 3.1-times higher than in non-allergic patients, and they further increased
to 10-times higher failure rate for immediate implants. These findings were statistically
significant.To read this article in full you will need to make a payment
