- Knowing the typical failure symptoms of dental implants can prevent the problem from becoming worse. In many cases, the implant can still be salvaged or successfully replaced
- Facial Injury
- Persistent or severe pain after the initial week or so after surgery could be a sign of infection or damage to the surrounding nerves, teeth, and/or blood vessels. If you suspect that the pain is out of the ordinary, notify your surgeon immediately so that the problem can be dealt with promptly.
- Redness, swelling, inflammation, and bleeding around the implantation site is a bad sign after the initial few days. Infections can and do occur—especially in smokers, people with an autoimmune disease or diabetes, and those with poor oral hygiene. It’s important to have this checked and treated right away to prevent eventual implant failure.
- Gum recession is often a result of plaque buildup and gum disease, and it can also be caused by aggressive brushing. Gum recession around an implant can occur if you are not keeping the area sufficiently clean or are brushing too aggressively (particularly during the healing time). Ultimately, gum recession around an implant can lead to symptoms of dental implant failure.
- Dental implants are designed to be just as strong as natural teeth—if not stronger. In addition, the presence of an implant should stimulate bone growth that holds the post in place (a process known as osseointegration). An implant that feels wobbly indicates that the post may not have fused properly with the jaw bone. Notify your surgeon immediately if your artificial tooth feels loose so that the problem can be diagnosed and resolved.
- Implants should feel and function like any other teeth and should not cause discomfort when you eat. If you have difficulty chewing, there might be a problem with the angle, size, or shape of the implant, or the tooth might have become slightly loose. Have this checked sooner rather than later to prevent implant failure and dietary issues.
- When an implant is placed too close to a nerve, you might feel a tingling or numb sensation in your face, tongue, lips, and gums. This can impact your ability to eat and drink normally and should never be ignored
- Sometimes, the body rejects foreign objects—including things like organ transplants, prostheses, and replacement teeth. If you experience pain, inflammation, chills, or fever even years after your dental implant surgery, your body might be rejecting the titanium alloy implant.
- A trauma, poor planning, or changes to your facial structure can lead to a dental implant that protrudes into the sinus cavity. This can usually be resolved with a sinus bone graft and a new implant that is placed after a long gap for healing.
- Trauma to the mouth or face can knock artificial teeth loose just as they can knock out your natural teeth. See your surgeon immediately after the accident to find out whether the tooth replacement can be saved and to replace any newly missing teeth.
- Complete Implant Osseointegration
- Assess the tissue that surrounds the implant referred to as the perimucosal seal for inflammation.
- Probe gently with an appropriate implant probe and document any areas of bleeding, exudate, and Palpate from what would be apex to crown with fingers placed buccal and lingual to evaluate for bleeding or exudate at the tissue margin.
- Examine for calculus, cement, or instrument particles by using a woven floss or dental tape and surrounding the implant and sliding into the tissue, using a “shoeshine” movement to evaluate for fraying floss or roughness on the implant. In either case, debridement will be necessary to alleviate the issue.
- Yearly radiographs are necessary to compare the bone height; vertical bitewing and periapical radiographs are ideal, though a traditional bitewing may be used. Refer back to the bitewing and periapical taken one-year post-restoration as that is the baseline.
- often fitted on top of the implant.
- The healing abutment will protrude through the surface of the gum and stay in place while the dental implant heals
- After some weeks, the healing cap will be removed before the attachment of the abutment and eventually the crown will be put in place.
- Placing final abutments.
- If you have a second surgery to place abutments, a small incision is first made in the gum tissue.
- In many cases, a healing abutment is temporarily secured to the implant.
- When gums have healed, the final abutment is placed after an impression is taken.
- Correct cleaning prevents infection and promotes healing.
- Close Tray Transfer Impressio
- Less accurate for multi-unit cases
- less accurate for multi unit impression
- cement retained implant crown
- Overall Complications, Retrievability, And Long-Term Treatment Planning
- This highlights that occlusion is present on the crown and not on the channel filling material used in the screw.
- Both can be used to achieve the same esthetic result.
- Even though screw causes the decline of the strength, the appropriate adjustments to the occlusion scheme and appropriate adjustment can be made better as compared to the cement retained.
- Due to the limitation of the interocclusal space, the screw retained . implant reconstruction is required.
- Between the two, the screw-retained implant reconstruction has more advantages as compared to the cement retained. It is because it achieves better contours of the tissues, its health, and soft tissue transfer
- Since passivity pose a greater technical challenge in screw based on its discrepancies in dimension along with complication of the screws such as loosening or fatigue fracture.
- Moreover, the residue of the retention can cause microbial colonies as well as cause adverse effect on the tissues.
- Studies have revealed that prosthesis can be simplified using screw-retained implantation.
