Here are four highlights:
1. A growth in the dental implant and prosthetic market could reach $6.4 billion by 2018.
2. Dental malpractice attorneys indicated that eight years is the upper limit for the lifespan of a titanium implant.
3. Research suggests that 50 percent of all implants become infected, with 40 percent of implants experiencing peri-implantitis.
4. Patients with gum disease are at an even higher risk for implant failure.
