The Causes of Early Implant Bone Loss: Myth or Science?
Open accessAbstract
The success of dental implants is highly dependent on integration between the implant and intraoral hard/soft tissue. Initial breakdown of the implant‐tissue interface generally begins at the crestal region in successfully osseointegrated endosteal implants, regardless of surgical approaches (submerged or nonsubmerged). Early crestal bone loss is often observed after the first year of function, followed by minimal bone loss (≤0.2 mm) annually thereafter. Six plausible etiologic factors are hypothesized, including surgical trauma, occlusal overload, peri‐implantitis, microgap, biologic width, and implant crest module. It is the purpose of this article to review and discuss each factor. Based upon currently available literature, the reformation of biologic width around dental implants, microgap if placed at or below the bone crest, occlusal overload, and implant crest module may be the most likely causes of early implant bone loss. Furthermore, it is important to note that other contributing factors, such as surgical trauma and periimplantitis, may also play a role in the process of early implant bone loss. Future randomized, well‐controlled clinical trials comparing the effect of each plausible factor are needed to clarify the causes of early implant bone loss. J Peridontol 2002;73:322‐333.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
