In this study, impaired osseointegration of dental implants was demonstrated associated with orthognathic surgery. Micro-environmental changes of hard tissue induced by major surgery on the jaw showed deteriorating effects on integrity of biomaterial osseointegration. Special considerations should be addressed for ideal treatment results and prognosis.
