Since Branemark's debut in the 1970s, dental implants have gained popularity as a therapy option for rehabilitating lost teeth. This treatment option has its drawbacks, too, since prior studies have shown that dental implant failure rates may range from 1% to 19%. Depending on when the abutment was connected, these failures could be categorized as early or late failures: early failures happened before functional loading was applied, and late failures happened after occlusal loading was applied or, in situations where immediate implant loading was used after the provisional restoration was first removed. Three categories of factors affect bone loss around implants: social, systemic, and local. The implant body, occlusal loading, implant size, and biological characteristics are examples of the local variables. Structure-related factors that lead to bone loss include the type of connection (internal hex, external hex, conical, and their variations) and the size of a micro gap between the implant and abutment. Abutment height, smoking habits, and bone substratum are crucial factors influencing marginal bone loss, with mismatching distances having no substantial impact. Abutment height is pivotal in preserving implant bone in the early stages. Time efficiency in digital workflows for implant crowns varies significantly based on materials. Overall, these findings contribute valuable information for optimizing the success and longevity of dental implant treatments.
