Impact of Implant and Site Characteristics on the Pattern of Bone Loss in Peri-implantitis.

CONCLUSION: Approximately one-quarter of dental implants (24.7%) developed bone loss beyond normal physiologic remodeling. Vertical bone loss around single implants was the most common pattern (65%), particularly around implants placed in bone-grafted sites with odds ratio of 2.5 for narrow implants vs 3.1 for wide implants. In the presence of adjacent implants, the odds of horizontal bone loss was 5.1 (P = .003). PMID: 31711088 [PubMed - in process]
