Objective: To review available literature on the survival rate of dental implants in patients with bruxism. Method: An electronic search in MEDLINE (PubMed), Scielo and Scopus databases was performed to identify relevant literature about survival of dental implants in patients with bruxism, without time and language restrictions. The PICO strategy used to guide the selection of papers was: P – patients with bruxism; I – dental implant placement; O – survival of dental implants. Studies were patients had possible (based on self-report) or probable (clinical examination) were included. Results: The initial Search identified 190 papers. After screening sumaries, full-texts and applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, six studies were included in the systematized review. Of the six studies, five were retrospective and one was prospective. In only two studies, they found a high success rate of dental implants placed in patients with bruxism. In the other four studies, bruxism significantly affected survival, and also reporting higher risk of mechanical complications. Conclusions: Most of the studies included in this review suggest that the presence of bruxism affects survival of dental implants; however, heterogeneity of criteria and methodology between studies was observed. Although it is suggested to carry out more studies to reach a definite conclusion, a thorough assessment of bruxism has to be considered as part of treatment planning of patients that will undergo implant placement, as well as a correct management and the application of treatments to reduce its possible negative effect in longevity and success of dental implants.
