It's no secret that the health of the surrounding tissue plays a great role in the success of a dental implant, and that is why identifying and reducing risk factors is the most important step in the implant process. A recent study showed that "a combination of genes has been identified as a possible indicator of greater tissue destruction leading to negative outcomes for implants."
The process of tissue inflammation and destruction is very similar to periodontal disease. The researchers were trying to find any association of these genotypes.
