Introduction:The implant-retained overdenture has been advocated as an effective method of rehabilitating the edentulous patient that offers significant benefits over conventional prosthesis. It is important to understand the etiological factors responsible in causing failures and complications during the various clinical procedures associated with the use of this treatment modality. This knowledge aids treatment planning, communicating with the patient, informed consent, and posttreatment care of the implants and prostheses. Case report: This paper outlines a clinical case demonstrating common complications encountered in implant retained overdentures and suggests how these complications can be managed. Conclusion: Failure of implant has a multifactorial dimension. Often many factors come together to cause the ultimate failure of the implant.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
