Most clinicians have been taught to measure crestal bone loss as a marker of implant success. But what if we’ve been measuring the wrong thing entirely?
In this video, Dr. Robert Stanley breaks down the critical difference between true crestal bone loss and normal wound healing and and why the dental industry continues to confuse the two. He explains how long wound healing actually takes, what’s really happening biologically around implants, and why relying on 2D radiographs to draw conclusions about bone loss may not be good science.
If you’ve ever questioned the timelines, the data, or the assumptions behind implant success metrics… this is a conversation worth paying attention to.
Because understanding the difference doesn’t just change how you read studies; it changes how you treat patients.
