Abstract
Many factors contribute to the cumulative crestal bone loss seen around endosseous dental implants. This can create confusion for the practicing clinician and lead to undesirable outcomes. In this four part review series, we have searched the literature for papers published in English language refereed journals for the decade preceding May 2008 and attempted to identify the major factors associated with peri-implant bone loss. Part three of this article series examines implant geometry, surface roughness, length, and diameter.
