A radiograph two years after implant placement, then seven years later in a heavy smoker, demonstrating progression of bone loss due to peri-implantitis. Peri-implantitis is a destructive inflammatory process affecting the soft and hard tissues surrounding dental implants. [1]
Implants preserve the integrity of the teeth adjacent to the edentulous area, and it has been shown that dental implant therapy is less costly and more efficient over time than tooth-supported FPDs for the replacement of one missing tooth. The major disadvantage of dental implant surgery is the need for a surgical procedure. [17]
Mastication is significantly stronger in endodontically treated teeth as compared to implants. [58] Initial success rates after single tooth implants and endodontic microsurgery are similar the first 2 to 4 years following surgery, though after this the success rate of endodontic microsurgery is decreased as compared to implantation.

Fibrous hyperplasia around a dental implant, caused by a broken denture clasp. [7] The cause is usually pressure from the flange of a denture which causes chronic irritation and a hyperplastic response in the soft tissues.

Temporary prosthetics in full arch restoration refer to provisional dental appliances that are used to replace missing teeth during the healing phase after implant surgery.
