Several researchers have investigated the prevalence of ICL between implant prostheses and adjacent teeth . ICL between fixed implant prostheses and adjacent teeth is the absence of interproximal contact between the implant prosthesis and adjacent teeth, where interproximal contacts were previously established by the clinician.…”

Purpose To present the prevalence and contributing factors of interproximal contact loss (ICL) between implant restorations and adjacent teeth, and to provide recommendations for possible prevention and treatment of this complication. Materials and Methods The authors explored the dental literature on PubMed on ICL between implants and adjacent teeth, interproximal contacts, open contacts, teeth migration causes, facial bone formation, and facial bone changes. Results ICL between fixed implant prostheses and adjacent teeth has been reported. A literature search revealed 7 studies showing a high prevalence of ICL between implant prostheses and adjacent teeth. The literature indicates that this ICL is greater in the mesial aspect in comparison with the distal. As identified by the literature review, ICL in the maxilla ranged between 18% and 66% versus 37% to 54% in the mandible. ICL might occur as early as 3 months after prosthetic treatment. The literature review documented possible tooth migration causes, crown‐related causes, and bone formation/growth‐related causes of ICL. Conclusions ICL is a common multifactorial implant complication. The clinical condition will dictate if the implant crown needs to be modified/replaced or the natural tooth needs to be restored to reestablish interproximal contact between an implant prosthesis and adjacent tooth. Periodic evaluations of interproximal contacts between implant restorations and the adjacent teeth and the use of screw‐retained restorations due to ease of removal is recommended to diagnose and mitigate the problem. An orthodontic retainer or occlusal guard may help prevent ICL between the implant restoration and the adjacent tooth.

“…The classification has been designed after critically analyzing many randomized clinical trials, observational and cross‐sectional studies assessing the occurrence of food impaction around implants . Studies have shown that the development of open proximal contact along with faulty morphology of the implant prosthesis (subcategory A) is the most common etiological factor that favors food impaction around implants .…”

“…The presence of traumatic occlusion along with supraeruption of teeth adjacent to the ankylosed dental implant also increase the risk of food impaction . Traumatic occlusal forces exaggerate the proximal wear on the tooth surface that indirectly promotes the formation of the open proximal contact.…”

Background Food impaction is a common risk factor for the initiation of peri‐implant inflammation and failure of the osseointegrated implant. Although clinicians do acknowledge the presence of food impaction around implants and implant‐retained prosthesis, no classification system has yet classified the food impaction around the implant and implant‐retained prosthesis. Purpose The present paper aims to identify and classify the plausible etiology of food impaction around implants and implant‐related prosthesis. Materials and Methods The following search terms were utilized for data search: “Food Impaction” AND “Implants” AND “Food Impaction” AND “Perimplantitis” AND “Food Impaction” AND “Classification.” Articles that were written in the English language in PubMed and Cochrane Library database from 1930 till September 2018 were scrutinized. A total of 24 articles were scrutinized, out of which only 15 articles were selected. Results Food impaction around implants is broadly classified into five categories based on the number of implants, nature of implants prosthesis involved for replacement and relation of the implant prosthesis to the adjacent tooth, restoration, or prosthesis. Conclusion This is the first classification designed to classify food impaction around dental implants and implant‐retained prosthesis. The classification can be used by clinicians for optimal diagnosis, interpretation, and treatment plan for patients.
