Summary Recent research data have suggested that the beneficial action of statins in bone tissue could improve osseointegration around titanium implants by increasing the bone implant contact (BIC), the expression of bone morphogenetic protein‐2 (BMP‐2) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the influence of statins on osseointegration of titanium implants in animal studies. Two reviewers searched independently four databases (MEDLINE, SCOPUS, WEB OF SCIENCE and the Cochrane Library), until March 15, 2016. The Cochrane Collaboration’s Tool for Assessing Risk of Bias was used to assess the quality of the included studies. Papers that reported outcome data considering bone implant contact (BIC), mechanical tests or other histological evaluation were eligible for inclusion. 312 references were eletronically retrieved, 21 full‐text papers were screened and 17 studies were included. Thirteen trials presented histomorphometry data on bone implant contact measures. All of them showed a significant improved BIC when using statins. Despite data from included studies point to beneficial effects, standardized studies and with less risk of bias, are needed to clarify the role of statins on osseointegration.
