San Clemente, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/24/2015 -- Almost 8% of dental patients experience loss of at least one of their implant within 10 years. Some even develop peri-implantitis. Those patients with periodontitis have the greater risk of both losing their dental implants and having peri-implantitis. Dental experts never cease in finding ways to ensure that the dental implants of their patients will last for a long time. A doctoral thesis that was done at Sahlgrenska Academy has explored the various issues that are the main cause of dental implants loss.

An approximate 30,000 Swedes are reported to receive dental implant therapy each year, which is just .3% of the total dental implants patient in America where 500,000 people receives dental implants a year. The success of dental implants in both replacing the natural tooth and providing additional benefits. As successful the method as it may seem, there are still some issues that needed to be addressed in order to minimize the number of reports of loss dental implants. Some of these issues are as followed:

- High degree of satisfaction – among the participants of the study who have answered the questionnaire survey, there are 4,176 randomly selected patients that indicated their high degree of satisfaction in the dental implant therapy. This degree of satisfaction has proven that the use of dental implant therapy to replace the missing tooth provides a positive outcome to patients.

- Biological complications – due to the limited evaluations and observational studies that were conducted by the specialist in dental care to the patient population, few attempts were made to analyze the biological complications of dental implants to a person. Biological issue like peri-implantitis is an inflammation in the adjacent tissues and loss of the supporting jawbone of the implant happens. The national project evaluated the therapy in terms of implant loss, patient-reported outcomes and prevalence of peri-implantitis.

- Developed peri-implantitis – at the study done in Sweden, a total of 596 patients and 37 Swedish clinics undergone examination for a 9-year follow-up. There are 7.6% of patients that experienced loss of at least one dental implant and 14.5% of patients have developed peri-implantitis that has pronounced bone loss. It is discovered that patients who are suffering from periodontitis are more prone to severe peri-implantitis and those associated with smoking and periodontitis experiences early implant loss.

- Quick progress of peri-implantitis – peri-implantitis shows development within a few years of the implant. Upon development, it progresses in an accelerating pace that if not blocked immediately will result to fall of the dental implants. The results of the study have provided a crucial input into both the dental practitioners and patients, this is minimized the risk of implant loss and to prevent the development of peri-implantitis.

Dental implants are used and provided to people who seek to regain their beautiful smile once again. Giving the patient the feeling of regaining their confidence, there are still some factors that needed to remember to avoid losing yet again their implants. Proper care and maintenance of their dental implants is widely advised by most dental experts. Without proper care, the possibilities of dental issues will arise and the effort of having natural looking teeth will be compromised.
