A variety of technical and biological complications can occur in implant dentistry with functional or esthetic consequences. With increasing popularity of implants, the prevalence of negative outcomes has been steadily increasing, requiring clinicians to be able to manage these complications.
It is most important to understand the underlying reasons for many potential complications that can occur in order to avoid them. Some of the complications associated with implant installation and restoration include incorrect diagnosis and treatment planning, improper implant or abutment selection, improper planning considering the lip line, incorrect implant position, inadequate osseous resection and inadequate available soft tissue or bone. Some of the inflammatory complications that can occur subsequent to restoration can include poor oral hygiene measures or inadequate implant maintenance, leading to peri-implant mucositis or peri-implantitis with associated soft tissue and bone loss. Of paramount importance is regular maintenance care to monitor implant health and intervene early. Some of the prosthetic complications include impression or scan errors, poor prosthetic design and contour, inappropriate material selection, inappropriate occlusal scheme, screw loosening, screw fracture, and restoration failures.
