Implant fractures in implant supported fixed and removable dentures
Abstract
Materials and Methods: The widespread use of endosseous osseointegrated implants to replace missing natural teeth results with the complications and failures, despite the high initial success rate reported in the literature. Complications on dental implants may be observed in short or long term periods. Implant fracture is one of the mechanical complications that can be encountered in the long term period and may be related to implant type, width, location, bone support, occlusal forces, restoration design or time. Fracture of the implants is a rare phenomenon with severe clinical results. It is important to know and apply the measures required to prevent implant fracture, and to seek the best individualized solution for each case - though complete implant removal is usually the treatment of choice.
