Study Reveals Factors Influencing Peri-Implant Bone Loss Rates in Dental Patients

Posted: December 15, 2024
The article examined peri-implant bone loss rates in patients over one year, identifying factors like location of implant, restoration type, systemic conditions, age, sex, and smoking habits affecting bone resorption. It found a weak correlation between age and resorption rate, with implants supporting bridge restorations showing higher resorption scores. Gender, age, and systemic conditions alone did not significantly increase bone loss, but placing implants in the mandible or using them for bridge restorations may increase vulnerability to resorption.
