Although dental implants are proven to be a predictable longterm treatment for patients, it is important to realize that not all implants that survive are necessarily successful. Successful implants are those that remain fully functional and healthy within the oral cavity. Peri-implantitis is a disease that is associated with implant failure, and is becoming rather prevalent. Assessing risk factors and stabilizing existing oral disease prior to the placement of implants will aid in preventing implant disease and failure. After implant placement, a strict follow-up regime with a dental professional should be implemented in order to monitor the implant and surrounding teeth for disease. The dental professional should continually encourage the patient to adhere to consistent homecare to prevent peri-implantitis from occurring, and in turn increase the success of their implants. Early diagnosis and elimination of inflammatory processes around the implants will improve the longterm prognosis as well.
尽管牙种植体已被证明是一种对患者可预测的长期治疗方法，但必须认识到，并非所有存活的种植体都必然成功。成功的种植体是那些在口腔内保持完全功能且健康的种植体。种植体周围炎是一种与种植体失败相关的疾病，且正变得相当普遍。在植入种植体之前评估风险因素并稳定现有的口腔疾病将有助于预防种植体疾病和失败。种植体植入后，应实施与牙科专业人员的严格随访制度，以监测种植体及周围牙齿是否患病。牙科专业人员应持续鼓励患者坚持一致的家庭护理，以防止种植体周围炎的发生，进而提高种植体的成功率。早期诊断并消除种植体周围的炎症过程也将改善长期预后。
