Will any dental implant do?

Abstract

Dental implant treatment is a well-documented technology, but sadly with the passage of time, the vast majority of dental implants sold on the market today have little of their own documentation. All implants are not the same and the consequences of 'look-alike' implants relying on the documentation of others may be far-reaching. This opinion piece highlights concerns identified in the literature and exposes problems that are already occurring in reality.
