Abstract

The posterior mandible, despite its higher alveolar bone density compared to the maxilla, remains vulnerable to damage under excessive forces, particularly in proximity to critical structures like the inferior alveolar nerve. Dental implants in the posterior mandibular region are especially susceptible to biological complications in patients with bruxism. These complications can include peri-implant mucositis, peri-implantitis, and implant failure due to bone loss or poor osseointegration.

Biological complications in bruxer patients highlight the critical importance of maintaining proper oral hygiene, optimizing prosthetic design, and ensuring precise surgical technique. While the incidence of complications was not significantly higher in bruxer patients compared to non-bruxers, careful planning and timely interventions were essential for successful outcomes.
