During the 3-4 months of healing, dental implants may break if subjected to too much pressure before they have completely fused in the jawbone. The components of the crown or bridge can also be damaged if subjected to too much stress. Wear and tear can break the abutment, which is the connector holding the crown to the implant.
If the dental implant crown feels loose, there may be a damaged screw inside the implant that holds in the crown.
Patients who grind their teeth are more prone to breakage, fracture and failure of implants.

The question requires a few more details. I dont think any implant has ever broken from being subjected to conditions related to chewing and normal oral functioning. Implants are nearly always made of medical grade Titanium alloys and therefore are incredibly strong and durable. The screws used to attach crowns and dentures can break but usually its simply due to the screws being loosened by normal function over time. They are fairly easy to re-tighten or replace and your dentist can generally take care of the problem with a quick appointment.
Yes, dental implants can break when too much force is applied to them. While rare it is possible. This can occur due to forces applied to an implant prior to the implant integrating properly with the surrounding bone or an oral trauma. The more likely scenario is that the dental crown will break before the dental implant.Hope this helps. Dental implant breakage is a very rare occurrence.Marielaina Perrone DDSdrperrone.comSent via the Samsung Galaxy S22+ 5G, an AT&T 5G smartphone

Yes implants can break sometime, but it’s depends on what type of implant or depends on size of implant they use.
Also how you chew your food and what kind of jaw movement you do.
When implant breaks it’s depends on all different conditions, just like how you breaks your own tooth.
