„Marginal bone loss in regenerated areas“

Dr. Hugo-Rui Franco Basteiro, Spain

The peri-implant bone stability is a key factor in the clinical long-term outcome of our rehabilitations. The current criteria allow us a marginal bone loss near to 2mm during the first year, after loading, but after this time, it might keep stable along the implant life. However, new knowledge in our field, conduct us to place implants in different clinical scenario different to the pristine bone, as regenerated crestal bone.

We will analyze in this presentation the differences in the peri-implant bone level according to different clinical model of regeneration in humans. According to our findings, it is more critical concepts as biological width maintenance, and how the implant features or the patient habits could influence on it, that the final histological and histomorphometrical features of the final resultant bone where we place our implants, with independence of which biomaterial we could use to induce guided bone regeneration in our patients.
