What is the most commonly recommended minimum spacing between two adjacent implants?

The most commonly recommended minimum spacing between two adjacent implants is 3-4 mm. This spacing is crucial to ensure adequate osseointegration and to provide enough bone volume for both implants to thrive. Proper spacing helps reduce the risk of potential complications such as biomechanical overload or bone resorption, which may occur if implants are placed too close together. Additionally, maintaining this spacing allows for better access during surgical procedures and cleaning, aiding in long-term maintenance of oral hygiene around the implants. Following these guidelines supports optimal healing and functional performance of the implants over time.
