Clinicians have noticed an increased rate of implant failures. What are the factors that lead to implant failures — either short-term (after placing the implant fixture) or long-term (years after restoring)? The emphasis of this presentation will be on diagnosis, treatment planning, systemic factors, site preservation and operative environment. The goal of this presentation is to identify, evaluate and review the factors by examing recent research, case studies and articles to support evidence-based dentistry. The conclusion will be ways to optimize success in implant treatment.
Learning Objectives:
Learn about short- and long-term implant failures.
Identify systemic risk factors that contribute to implant failures.
Recognize the need for pre-prosthetic surgery, site preservation and sinus lifts.
Understand the concept of digital implant planning using the concept of prosthetically driven implant placement.
