The use of dental implants to replace missing teeth is highly advantageous for patients. Over the coming decade, increasing acceptance of implant dentistry will lead to a widespread increase in usage of implants for rehabilitation. Because of variations in implant designs, study protocols, and populations studied, results are difficult to compare and an absolute definition of implant success remains elusive. Over the last 30 years, peri-implantitis has become a major disease reality in dentistry. The condition should therefore be considered a disease from a population perspective rather than a biological complication in the field of implant dentistry. Long-term success of dental implants requires sound treatment planning, precise surgical and restorative execution, and impeccable long-term maintenance.
