The Association of Dental Caries or Dental Implant Placement Within One Year of Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty on Medical and Implant Complications

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) adverse events among patients who have dental diagnoses remain unclear. We sought to determine if dental caries or dental implant placements increased: 1) 90-day medical complications; 2) 90-day readmissions; and 3) 2-year implant-related complications, including periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) after THA.
