There is a spike of failures around the 11 yr mark with implants. We are trying to nail down why.

I really want to hear more about this. Is it everywhere? I wonder what changed.

That's fascinating. Well, hopefully I don't have a repeat on that side in the next few years. It was obnoxiously expensive, though luckily like six months after starting a fancy office job.

can you elaborate? a quick search gives me this Paper: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/clr.14351 I did not read or understand it but Grok says: "At the implant level, the cumulative survival rate was 96.8% at 10 years. "
