Systemic risk factors for peri-implant bone loss: a systematic review and meta-analysis

A longitudinal retrospective study of the analysis of the risk factors of implant failure by the application of generalized estimating equations

“…The incidence of early and late implant failure in smokers was 2.4 and 3.0 times higher than in non-smokers, respectively. Several studies have also demonstrated that a smoking habit reduced the success rate of osseointegration [9,11,28,29].…”

“…Smoking has also been associated with poorer healing after mucogingival surgery due to more frequent occurrence of refractory periodontitis [29,30]. Several studies also demonstrated that smoking was a risk factor for marginal bone loss [13,[31][32][33] or implant loss [18,34].…”

Impact of type 2 diabetes on the gene expression of bone-related factors at sites receiving dental implants

“…Although dental implant therapy has been described as safe and has a high success rate, there are certain conditions that can interfere in the predictability of outcomes. 2 In this context, hyperglycaemia has been linked to an increased risk of T2DM co-morbidities, including reduced bone turnover and impaired bone mineralization and density. 3,4 Indeed, the poor glycaemic control in diabetic patients appears to negatively interfere with bone repair around implants and compromises implant stability during the healing period.…”

Split pedicle roll envelope technique around implants and pontics: a prospective case series study

“…21,22 This discrepancy may be the result of implant, clinical, and patient-related factors that are reported to cause marginal bone loss. 23 Two implants can adequately support a three-unit fixed partial prosthesis, which might create a bone stress comparable to that calculated for connected crowns supported by three implants. 24 Thus it appears inappropriate to attribute the excess bone loss to the fixed bridge design.…”
