I'm curious as to the long term failure rate of this type of implant. Teeth shift and there will be bone loss around it to some extent. It may be a better option but I don't think it is as perfect as the marketing makes it seem.
- desireco42 9y agoGood points but I think it will not be bone loss if you are actually using this tooth, same way you don't have bone loss around titanium screw. I don't think anyone knows potential issues with this one, except that they sound better. Current implants last from 10-25 yrs sometimes and are the best solution. This has potential to provide even better one.
- jbob2000 9y agoIt's so cheap, it almost doesn't matter.
- fractallyte 9y agoWell, no, it's not that cheap... The upfront cost is as much as a regular titanium implant. The real savings come later: there's no subsequent treatment to deal with infections (peri-implantitis) or other complications. BioImplant is basically 'fit and forget'.

- fractallyte 9y agoLong term, there have been no failures. There have been 5-10 year follow-ups, no issues at all. In particular, the use of zirconia has proven to be as effective (and much more esthetic) than titanium.
