COMPLICATIONS

Scenario: Single Mandibular Posterior - 2 Implants: #44, 46 Failed: #44

Lessons learned:

  • Prosthetic failure: remake prosthesis by maximize splinting.
  • Cause of failure of #44 implant may be due to remnant soft tissue in
    implant site during drilling.
  • Prosthetic failure: how a fractured abutment screw should be removed.
  • When pain occurs, crown should be removed and implant checked for stability.
    Healing ball may be placed on the implant instead of crown to avoid
    early loading of the implant.
  • Implant failure dealt by tightening implant.
