First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study followed 163 people who got dental implants between 1999 and 2005 to see how well the implants held up over time. Researchers checked patient satisfaction, implant survival, bone loss, and signs of inflammation. They also looked for risk factors that might lead to problems like peri-implantitis.
