Opinion piece based on identified problems.

Main Results:

The majority of dental implants available today have minimal proprietary documentation.
Significant differences exist between various dental implant systems.
The practice of using 'look-alike' implants with borrowed documentation is prevalent and problematic.

Conclusions:

The lack of specific documentation for dental implants poses a serious risk.
Implant manufacturers and clinicians must ensure adequate product traceability and data.
Addressing the documentation gap is crucial for patient safety and treatment efficacy.
