Effect of Early Radiographic Bone Loss Before Loading on Implant-Related Outcomes: A Long-Term Retrospective Study.

Key Points

• This research aims to investigate the relationship between early radiographic bone loss and implant-related outcomes over time.
• Long-term retrospective analysis of implant cases
• Assessment of early radiographic bone loss before loading
• Evaluation of implant failure and peri-implantitis incidence
• Early radiographic bone loss is a strong predictor of implant loss
• Higher association of early bone loss with onset of peri-implantitis
• Long-term outcomes show increased risks linked to early bone changes
