Pros | Off-the-shelf titanium screws can be mass-produced at a lower cost | Require a lower-level of surgical skills |
Cons[1][2] | Peri-implantitis; loss of bone and damage to nerves and sinuses; can tear off more mouth tissues during accident/injury | Custom-made at a higher cost, exposes the person to high dosage of radiation |

- This reviews conclusion is "no evidence to support differences in the marginal bone loss through indirect comparison between cement and screw-retained restorations" [1]
- The second review says "Since 2004, the survival rates of CA implants significantly improved compared with NCA implants. CA 1‐piece zirconia implants showed similar 1‐ and 2‐year mean survival rates and marginal bone loss after 1 year compared with published data for titanium implants."[2] Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 04:29, 7 February 2019 (UTC)

Specifically regarding the "can tear off more mouth tissues during accident/injury" text, it is supported by the image at the left, a picture is worth a thousand words. Tony85poon (talk) 01:20, 8 February 2019 (UTC)

- User:Kchan17, User:22djh, and User:Dentjtc - thank you for the extensive work on the article but you'll see much of it was reverted not because the references where bad, or the information off but the bullet style makes it unreadable. We still need to make the article a narrative that's readable to people around the world. If you'd like to collaborate on some of it together, why don't we discuss here and we can incorporate the information? Ian Furst (talk) 02:41, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

There may be risk of Neurosensory dysfunction (Anaesthesia, hypoaesthesia, hyperaesthesia, paraesthesia or dysaesthesia) , Displacement of implant into maxillary sinus cavity Which May lead to chronic sinusitis, and risk of Mandibular fracture.
Other risks include soft tissue Inflammation under the fixed prosthesis, soft tissue Recession, Hypertrophic /Hyperplasia of soft tissue, Peri-implant mucositis, Peri-implantitis. There may also be Wear of the prosthetic material, Fracture of prosthetics materials, Decementation of prosthetic materials, Fracture of implant, Loosening of abutment or screw, or Dental Implant mobility.
“Hi, thank you for your comments. Please see my corrected edit above and feel free to modify it to a publishable paragraph.

- Dear Kchan17, thank you for your interest in Wikipedia but, as written, these paragraphs are not publishable. All statements of facts require proper sources and must be written for the general public (see WP:MEDMOS. Your paragraphs appear to be a list of complications from a textbook which is not approachable by the public. In addition, there are numerous misspelled words and capitalization errors. If you would like to submit a modified version of this we would of course be happy to review it. Ian Furst (talk) 19:43, 28 December 2019 (UTC)

Dear User:Ian Furst, Thank you for your comments! Please find below my previously uploaded revisions to the "Medical Uses" section of the page, without the bullet points. I edited this section to make a clearer link between dental conditions and how dental implants were used to address these, while adding information I thought would be of relevance to patients, also updating the citations with more recent sources. Thank you for taking the time to review our work!
The primary use of dental implants is to support dental prosthetics (i.e. false teeth), through the process of osseointegration.[1] The US has seen an increasing use of dental implants, with usage increasing from 0.7% of patients missing at least one tooth (1999 - 2000), to 5.7% (2015 - 2016), and was projected to potentially reach 26% in 2016.[2] Implants are used to replace missing individual teeth (single tooth restorations), multiple teeth, or to restore edentulous dental arches (implant retained fixed bridge, implant-supported overdenture). Do note that alternative treatments to tooth loss are available (see Missing tooth replacement, Tooth Loss).
Dental implants are also used in orthodontics to provide anchorage (orthodontic mini implants).
- I'll lean into this on the weekend. Ian Furst (talk) 14:06, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
An evolving field is the use of implants to retain obturators (removable prosthesis used to fill a communication between the oral and maxillary or nasal cavities).
Single tooth implant restoration
Single tooth restorations are individual freestanding units not connected to other teeth or implants, used to replace missing individual teeth. For individual tooth replacement, an implant abutment is first secured to the implant with an abutment screw. A crown (the dental prosthesis) is then connected to the abutment with dental cement, a small screw, or fused with the abutment as one piece during fabrication. There is limited evidence that implant-supported single crowns perform better than tooth-supported fixed partial dentures (FPDs) on a long-term basis. However, taking into account the favorable cost-benefit ratio and the high implant survival rate, dental implant therapy is the first-line strategy for single-tooth replacement. Implants preserve the integrity of the teeth adjacent to the edentulous area, and it has been shown that dental implant therapy is less costly and more efficient over time than tooth-supported FPDs for the replacement of one missing tooth. The major disadvantage of dental implant surgery is the need for a surgical procedure.[3]
Implant retained fixed bridge / implant supported bridge
Implant retained fixed bridges range from limited span bridges for replacing multiple missing teeth, to complete arch restorations for the edentulous jaw (also known as fixed complete dentures). They are similar to conventional bridges, except that the prosthesis is supported and retained by one or more implants instead of natural teeth.
Implant-supported overdenture
An implant overdenture is a removable prosthesis which replaces teeth, using implants to improve support, retention and stability. They are most commonly complete dentures (as opposed to partial), used to restore edentulous dental arches. The dental prosthesis can be disconnected from the implant abutments with finger pressure by the wearer. To enable this, the denture base is attached to the dental implants by an attachment system, where one part of the attachment is connected to the dental implants, and the other part incorporated within the undersurface of the overdenture. Multiple attachment systems are commercially available; they include bar, ball, stud, magnetic and telescopic attachment systems, with patients preferring bar-clip or ball attachments.
Orthodontic mini-implants (TAD)
Dental implants are used in orthodontic patients to replace missing teeth (as above) or as a temporary anchorage device (TAD) to facilitate orthodontic movement by providing an additional anchorage point. They are indicated when needing to shorten treatment time, or as an alternative to extra-oral anchorage. Mini-implants are frequently placed between the roots of teeth, but may also be sited in the roof of the mouth. They are then connected to a fixed brace to help move the teeth.[4]

User:Dentjtc I like a lot of the wording. Do you want to break the existing medical uses section into subsections then integrate some of your own wording? Some of the wording I like (some I think sounds too stilted and technical) but we can edit together. Please don't delete existing references. Also, the BOS site is not a valid MEDRS. thank you for the effort. Ian Furst (talk) 00:21, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
- Ian Furst Thank you for your comments. That sounds like a good plan, I'll try to work on that! Dentjtc (talk) 11:50, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
