The percentage of rejection of a dental implant is minimal: 2%. But, if it happens, the Rejection of a dental implant can have many causes. Among the most common reasons are poor care during the osseointegration process, poor oral hygiene which can cause peri-implantitis or periodontitis and tobacco use.
Problems during the osseointegration process
Osseointegration is the intimate union that must be generated between the implant and the jawbone. This process requires very strict care for a period of between 3 and 4 months, after the implant is placed.
If the implantologist's recommendations are not carefully followed during this period of time, the implant can be rejected. This means that the healing will not be correct, the implant will not fix well and it must be relocated.

Deficiency in oral hygiene
Hygiene is very important in general for proper oral health. When not done correctly accumulation of bacterial plaque and inflammation occurs in the gums.
A process of inflammation in the gum (gingivitis) causes serious diseases such as periodontitis, which is its chronic phase. Periodontitis reabsorbs the jaw bone and with this support is lost both for dental implants and for other teeth.
If you suffer from inflammation in the gum, it is necessary to carry out treatment to treat it, before starting any oral implantology treatment.
Tobacco use
In addition to being harmful to health in general, smoking causes serious problems in the mouth such as oral cancer. When undergoing dental implant treatment, tobacco is one of the main causes of implant failure and rejection.
Most cases occur during the osseointegration period, since smoking causes delayed healing. Additionally, a recurrent smoker tends to present jaw bone loss already suffer from bacterial infections.
Taking into account all of the above, rejection of a dental implant is highly dependent on care that are taken during the placement process, as well as habit control and the constant care of oral hygiene.
It is very important to take into account all the recommendations of the implantologist, when performing a treatment with dental implants, to avoid implant rejection. As well as verifying very well the experience of the professional and the quality of the materials with which the treatment is carried out.
Titanium, which is the material with which dental implants are made, is biologically accepted by the human body. For this reason, there is no rejection of the human body towards the implant, but external factors, such as those just mentioned, that can generate this rejection.
