Cochrane reviews

• There might possibly not be clinically important difference in either implant failure, prosthesis failure, or bone loss associated with different loading times (immediate, early or conventional) of implants but the evidence is insufficient Interventions for Replacing Missing Teeth: Different Times for Loading Dental Implants.
• 1- or 2-stage implant placement seems to have similar outcomes, although the evidence is insufficient. In patients with no teeth there may be less implant failures with the 2-stage approach compared to the 1-stage implant placement Interventions for Replacing Missing Teeth: 1- Versus 2-Stage Implant Placement.
• Implants with relatively smooth (turned) surfaces may be less prone to lose bone due to chronic infection (perimplantitis) than implants with rougher surfaces, but here is no evidence showing that any particular type of dental implant has superior long-term success Interventions for Replacing Missing Teeth: Different Types of Dental Implants.
• In the treatment of perimplantitis, simple subgingival mechanical debridement seems to be sufficient to achieve results similar to the more complex and expensive therapies in most cases, but the evidence is insufficient Interventions for Replacing Missing Teeth: Treatment of Perimplantitis.
