Why it matters for dental
Implant failure and peri-implantitis are now the leading causes of implant loss and re-treatment costs; this cohort study quantifies modifiable patient- and site-level risk factors so owners, surgeons, and hygienists can adjust case selection, maintenance protocols, and informed-consent language.
Key points
- Retrospective single-center cohort of consecutive dental implant placements with ≥5-year follow-up.
- Identified statistically significant predictors: smoking (OR 2.3), history of periodontitis (OR 1.9), poor plaque control (OR 3.1), and bone augmentation procedures (OR 1.7).
- Peri-implantitis incidence reached 18 % at 5 years and accounted for 62 % of all late implant failures.
- Authors recommend individualized maintenance intervals ≤4 months for high-risk patients and pre-operative smoking cessation counseling.
