Occlusal Load—a Factor for Implant Failure?
In this case, Nicola Zitzmann describes the sudden loss of a previously well-osseointegrated implant that had been in healthy function for 5 years. The case includes recommendations for occlusion and function of implant restorations. A 74-year-old patient had received implant-fixed dental prostheses in the maxilla in 2008, and in the right mandible three years later. His tooth loss was mainly related to recurrent caries associated with hyposalivation as a potential side effect of his cholesterol-lowering medication.
