Lead author Sargon Barkarmo noted that the results of the study out of the University of Gothenburg show that the implants remain in place and that the bone loss around them is virtually unchanged after 40 years.
Single-tooth implants have demonstrated high success rates over observation periods of five to ten years. However, long-term monitoring remains essential.
Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have recently conducted the longest follow-up study yet on implant survival and complication rates, evaluating single implants placed 38–40 years ago.
Their findings confirm that the implants remained fully functional but that the implant-supported crowns exhibited comparatively shorter lifespans. The study offers valuable insights into potential long-term complications and reinforces confidence in the longevity of single-tooth implant treatments.
