Prevalence of Interproximal Contact Loss Between Implant-Supported Fixed Prostheses and Adjacent Teeth and Its impact on Marginal Bone Loss: A Retrospective Study.

CONCLUSION: Interproximal contact loss occurred in 32.8% of implant-supported fixed prostheses, and a positive relationship between interproximal contact loss and marginal bone loss was found, which suggests that interproximal contact loss should be included as a prosthetic implant complication. Future research aiming at identifying the causative factor for interproximal contact loss is necessary. PMID: 32406662 [PubMed - in process]
