Key Points

  • This research aims to determine the association between pre-extraction tooth mobility, furcation involvement, and dental implant failure rates.
  • Propensity-matched cohort study design
  • Assessment of tooth mobility and furcation involvement before extraction
  • Long-term follow-up on dental implant outcomes
  • History of severe tooth mobility correlates with higher failure rates of dental implants
  • Advanced furcation involvement is also linked to increased risk of implant failure
  • These findings suggest that both factors act as markers for underlying bone loss and periodontal issues

Abstract

A pre-extraction history of severe tooth mobility or advanced furcation involvement at an implant site is significantly associated with long-term implant failure. Rather than being independent biological causes, these clinical signs likely serve as historical markers for severe localized bone loss and heightened periodontitis susceptibility and should be carefully considered during risk assessment and treatment planning.
