Lee JH, et al. - Authors probed the incidence and pattern of implant fracture (IF) by using 9-year, long-term multicenter follow-up data. They evaluated the relationship of the incidence and differences in fracture patterns with clinical factors (based on patient variables and implant variables) for statistical significance using the Chi-square and Fisher exact test, as appropriate. Findings suggested that in IF, peri-implantitis-induced marginal and vertical bone loss and manufacturing-induced defects were considered to be major factors. Hence, it was noted that to reduce IFs, using clinically verified implant systems and striving to minimize bone loss by preventing and actively treating peri-implantitis was important.
