Many X-rays taken 10 or more years after the chin implant.

Bone resorption could be caused by the age and genetics, and has nothing to do with the implant. Proven by a few patients that had implant at 40+ years old, and had less than 1 mm bone resorption.

IMHO the study is inconclusive and in general has shitty methodology.

unknown, no long term follow-up
