Prosthetic Complications in Implant Dentistry: An Overview. Implant Prosthetic Complications

      Аннотация: Oral implantology has become a highly successful and viable option for the treatment of edentulous areas. High success rates for implant treatment have been shown through numerous clinical studies. However, as more implants are being placed, the number of complications are increasing. Even with technologic advances in oral implantology, this type of treatment is not void of complications, even many years after completion. These complications appear both surgically and prosthetically, with varying degrees of severity in consequence. Prosthetic complications leave patients without the restorations they ultimately desire, due to functional and esthetic issues stemming from inadequate implant placement, improper diagnosis or a lack of understanding about the forces acting upon the prosthetic components. As oral implantology grows as a discipline, the field of dentistry will be confronted with these complications, and knowledge of how to treat them is pivotal to the long-term success of the treatment. This book encompasses exhaustive compilation of various prosthetic complications encountered in oral implantology.
