Marginal bone loss as success criterion in implant dentistry: beyond 2 mm

ConclusionImplants with increased MBL rates at early stages (healing and immediate post?loading periods) are likely to reach MBL values that compromise their final outcome. Initial (healing, immediate post?loading) MBL rates around an implant of more than 0.44 mm/year are an indication of peri?implant bone loss progression. (Source: Clinical Oral Implants Research)
