Dental implant prognostication: A commentary

Vivien Kwok et al. J Periodontol. 2023 Jun.

In this commentary, a practical system for estimating the prognosis for dental implants is presented. Evidence for factors influencing implant prognosis is reviewed. The system is based on the stability of implant supporting tissues as opposed to implant loss.

Keywords: dental implants; etiology; peri-implantitis; prognosis.
