Clinical complications with implant prosthesis: A review

Abstract

Dental Implants have changed the face of dentistry over the last 25 years. As with most treatment procedures in dentistry today, dental implants not only involve scientific discovery, research and understanding, but also application in clinical practice. As the implants are so successful in the field of dentistry there are also various complications associated to it. These complications are divided into two sections. The first section focuses on oral soft tissue complications and the second segment addresses hard tissue dilemmas. The complications may occur at any stage but the purpose of this review is to describe the complications in implantology during prosthetic phase that may be encountered during the construction of fixed implant retained prosthesis.
