There has been increased emphasis within the literature regarding the ailing (treatable) and failing (non-treatable) implant. This review will describe current literature regarding the criteria for implant failure and explains what factors influence the likelihood of failure. Failure mechanisms can be divided into those occurring prior to, and after osseointegration. Progressive peri-implant bone loss together with a soft tissue inflammatory lesion can be defined as peri-implantitis, and is a major cause of failure after osseointegration. Regular maintenance of implants is critical to monitor the peri-implant situation for early detection of the signs of implant failure. More research is required involving diagnostic parameters in the early recognition of implant failure.
文献中对植入物的病态（可治疗）和失败（不可治疗）情况的关注日益增加。本综述将描述有关植入物失败标准的当前文献，并解释哪些因素会影响失败的可能性。失败机制可分为骨结合之前和之后发生的机制。种植体周围骨组织的渐进性丧失以及软组织炎性病变可被定义为种植体周炎，它是骨结合后失败的主要原因。定期维护植入物对于监测种植体周围情况以早期发现植入物失败迹象至关重要。需要更多涉及早期识别植入物失败的诊断参数的研究。
