Clinical complications with implants and implant prostheses

Collaborative Decision-Making in Implant Abutment Selection: Perspectives of Dentists and Dental Technicians in a Cross-Sectional Study

“…Screw loosening was the most frequently reported complication, followed by implant-abutment misfit, screw fracture, occlusal discrepancies, prosthesis fracture or chipping, peri-implant mucositis, peri-implantitis, and abutment fracture. These findings are consistent with previous reports identifying screw-related complications as among the most common technical complications associated with implant-supported restorations [ 17 , 29 ]. Mechanical complications at the implant-abutment interface remain clinically important because they may compromise prosthesis stability, increase maintenance requirements, and contribute indirectly to biological complications through micromovement and plaque accumulation [ 30 ].…”

Dental Malpractice in Implant Dentistry in Saudi Arabia

“…In addition, in agreement with the present study, Goodacre and colleagues found that the mean incidence of implant fracture was (1%) at the implant level. 18 With respect to peri-implantitis, the findings of the present study are consistent with those of literature. For instance, at the patient level, it was found that the prevalence of peri-implantitis in Riyadh city, Saudi Arabia was 27%, 19 and Mombelli et al 20 found that the prevalence of peri-implantitis was 20% patients during 5 to 10 years after implantation.…”

Seven-Year Retrospective Study on Conometric Retention for Complete Fixed Prosthesis

“…On the other hand, four prostheses frameworks fractures were observed during the follow-up period (17.4%), with a prosthetic success rate of 82.6%. This finding is in line with the 12% framework fracture rate reported by previous studies for implant supported overdentures [20,35]. It must be noted that all the fractures occurred at the distal cantilever portion, and it was always possible to restore the prostheses.…”
