This series on “Marginal Bone Loss in Dental Implants: Factors Affecting and How to Prevent It” is edited by Mario Pérez-Sayáns, Oral Medicine, Oral Surgery and Implantology Unit, Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, Santiago de Compostela, Spain.
This special series intends, through expert and consolidated authors and scientists in the area, to shed more light on the aspects related to marginal bone loss (MBL). The effect of implant loading, immediate or delayed implant placement after sinus lift, the use of photobiomodulation, as well as the role of abutments in MBL, will be discussed in the following issues.
Marginal bone loss in dental implants: factors affecting and how to prevent it
Influence of the area of the lateral window upon the radiological parameters and implant success in patients with direct sinus lift after 5–12 years of follow-up
Influence of abutment characteristics on marginal bone level changes in immediate loading implant-supported full-arch fixed dental prostheses: a retrospective case series study with 1-year follow-up
Immediate versus conventional loading (IL vs. CL) influence on implant marginal bone loss (MBL): a narrative review
Effect of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy on the treatment of peri-implantitis: narrative review
