COMPLICATIONS IN IMPLANT DENTISTRY

Complications & Failures in Implantology

Implant Surgery is a highly specialized from of surgery, it require great skills & understanding of the case on part of the implant surgeon.

Success rate of Implants are more than 97% only if the diagnosis & implant treatment plan are properly implemented. We personally believe that the surgeon having the skill & mastery of treating complications should only attempt the surgery.

The implant surgeon should always consider quality and quantity of the bone available, medical considerations like diabetus, bleeding disorders, age of the patient & other systemic factors and also harmful habits like clenching of teeth (BRUXISUM), smoking, chewing tobacco & betel nut before attempting a successful implant procedure.

Even patient insists, the implant surgeon should have courage to say “NO” when implants are not possible or have more chances of failures.

One of the major complications in implants is periimplntitis (Infection of the surrounding & supporting tissues). If left untreated may definitely lead to failure of the implant.
