摘要:

Many factors are attributed to failure of the dental implant, either directly or indirectly. The focus of this article is to define the causation of dental implant failure, as well as to present an evaluation of the implant literature regarding etiology, classification, management, and treatment of implant failures. This article will highlight the initial signs of implant failure with a view of some clinical cases in terms of classification and degrees of implant failure. Finally, a dental implant failure checklist is formulated to guide the practitioner in defining the cause of implant failure, be it infective or noninfective, and to establish percentages and frequency of occurrence. The checklist applies to all implant systems and will help to determine the factors responsible for causation and the repair procedures, whether they are at the surgical or restorative phases. The definition of implant failure is set forth in terms of ailing, failing, failed, and surviving implants, and the appropriate treatments and dispositions are outlined.

摘要:

Fixed implant reconstruction is one of the most challenging prosthetic treatment alternatives for the edentulous maxilla. Accurate diagnosis and treatment planning are essential to successful, predictable clinical results. Decisions concerning the placement of implants may have a lasting impact on the quality and prognosis of the final restoration. A series of clinical guidelines and considerations is presented with illustrative clinical treatment protocols of edentulous maxillae that vary in degrees of anatomical and prosthetic difficulty. This article addresses the fixed implant rehabilitation of edentulous maxillas with favorable anatomy and favorable arch position, favorable anatomy, and unfavorable arch position, and unfavorable anatomy and favorable arch position.

摘要:

The edentulous patient with a severely atrophic mandible (less than 7 mm in height) can be successfully restored with two endosseous implants and a clip-bar overdenture, with minimal morbidity. Two of the three cases reported illustrate the long-term potential of this treatment modality.
