Did you know?
The average implant lifetime is currently approx. 15-20 years. Considering the absence of inflammation of the implants as an important health parameter, 2/3 of all implants show significant inflammation already after 9 years (peri-implant mucositis = collagen degradation at the implant neck Source: Derks et.al. study).
The goal of the I LOVE MY IMPLANT campaign is to increase inflammation-free implant longevity to 25-30 years through early detection and targeted prevention to promote the safety, health and sustainability of implant restorations.
Implants can cause considerable problems in the first few years if they are not cared for properly and attentively. If they are cared for regularly, they can last much longer and, with professional support from the dentist and regular check-ups, they can even last for more than 30 years.
