Reversible, non‐plaque‐induced marginal bone loss around an osseointegrated implant: A case report

Abstract

This case report documents a non‐plaque‐induced marginal bone loss around an osseointegrated implant. The loss of osseointegration, most likely caused by overload and/or suboptimal distribution of occlusal loading, may be reversed when the loading is reduced by optimally transmitting stress forces to the implant‐to‐bone interface and surrounding bone.
