Dental implants have been used for decades. Nowadays, techniques of hard and soft tissue surgery have been developed so well that many researches pointed out that the long-term success rate of dental implants was very high. However, as dental implants being used more and more often and the follow-up periods getting longer and longer, many complications have emerged. One of which is the negative impact of persistent craniofacial growth on dental implants. Recently, this phenomenon was found not only in adolescents but also in adults. Continuous craniofacial growth results in infraocclusion of dental implants relative to remaining dentition, interproximal open contact between implants and neighboring nature teeth, and changes of esthetic outcomes. Hence, this review aims to organize previous studies about adult craniofacial growth, dentify its impact on dental implants as well as the surrounding tissue and further provide the methods of prevention for possible persistent craniofacial growth and recommendations for the treatment of dental implant under this kind of situation.
