Assessment of Removed Dental Implants in Finland from 1994 to 2012
Anna-Kaisa Antalainen, DDS/Mika Helminen, MSc/Helena Forss, PhD, DDS3/George K. Sándor, PhD, MD, DDS/Jan Wolff, PhD, DDS

The featured article for this issue of JOMI represents a long-term, well-populated study that assessed implants that were removed over an 18 year time period. The fact that such an article could be developed is a demonstration that an implant database, in this case the Finnish Dental Implant Register, can serve a valuable purpose. The retrospective study design is subject to bias; however, the large number of included patients may compensate for this potential design flaw. Indeed, the information gained from this article differs from most controlled clinical trials; however, the ability to consider both approaches enhances our knowledge base.
