A retrospective study of early dental implant failure caused by peri-implantitis
Objective To analyze the causes associated with the early failure of dental implant to improve successful rate. Methods There were 57 patients with implant loosening or removed before repairing who received dental implant surgery from January 2006 to May 2011 in our department were reviewed and analyzed. Results Among these 57 patients
there were 63 failed implants. Most of the early failure occurred within the first month after implantation. Among all of them
36 were caused by mucosa-derived peri-implantitis
12 by teeth-derived peri-implantitis
6 by simple infective peri-implantitis
6 by aseptic peri-implantitis
and 3 by other factors. Conclusion Causes of early dental implant failure are complex. Postoperative wound infection is the most important one.
