5 CONCLUSION

This open cohort, retrospective study evaluated risk indicators associated with marginal bone loss (MBL) through the analysis of 4,591 dental implants, of various designs, placed in private practice and followed‐up for 5 to 10 years. Significant risk indicators for bone loss were found to include autoimmune disease, heavy smoking, bisphosphonate therapy, implant location, diameter and design, and the presence of a bone defect at the site of placement. This study, using an ordinal scale for assessment of soft‐tissue conditions, reported that the prevalence of mucositis at the implant level, at 6 to 7 years, was higher at 38.6% versus 14.2% using strict versus relaxed criteria, respectively. The prevalence of peri‐implantitis was found to be 4.7% and 3.6%, using strict versus relaxed criteria, respectively. The results of this study highlight factors to consider when trying to prevent bone loss and further acknowledge the wide range of reported cases of peri‐implantitis and the need for universal standards.
