Follow-Up and Maintenance of Dental Implants
Dental implants have become a cornerstone of modern restorative dentistry, offering predictable and long-lasting solutions for the replacement of missing teeth. Advances in implant materials, surface technologies, surgical protocols, and prosthetic design have resulted in high survival and success rates. However, implant therapy does not end at placement or prosthetic restoration. Long-term success depends heavily […]
Dental Implant Placement
Dental implants have become a cornerstone of modern restorative dentistry, offering a predictable and long-term solution for the replacement of missing teeth. Their success relies on a complex interaction between surgical technique, biological healing, patient-related factors, and prosthetic planning. Implant placement is not a single event but rather a carefully staged process that begins with […]
Risks of Dental Implants
Dental implants have become a cornerstone of modern restorative dentistry, offering predictable, functional, and aesthetic replacement of missing teeth. With success rates frequently reported above 90–95%, implants are often considered the gold standard for tooth replacement. However, despite their high predictability, dental implants are not free of risk. Like any surgical and prosthodontic intervention, implant […]
Planning for Dental Implants
Dental implants have become a cornerstone of modern restorative dentistry, offering predictable, long-term solutions for the replacement of missing teeth. Advances in biomaterials, surgical techniques, imaging, and digital planning have significantly improved implant success rates and patient satisfaction. However, despite these advancements, successful implant therapy is not merely dependent on surgical skill or implant design. […]
Dental Implant Fractures: Etiology and Management
Dental implants have revolutionized modern dentistry, offering durable and aesthetic solutions for tooth replacement. Yet, despite their high success rates, implants can fail even after successful placement and osseointegration due to mechanical complications, including implant fractures. Although relatively rare, understanding their prevalence, causes, management, and prevention is essential for clinicians to ensure long‑term success. Based […]
Guided Implant Surgery: Precision in Dental Implants
Dental implants have revolutionized restorative dentistry by offering a long-term, functional, and aesthetic solution for missing teeth. Among the many advancements in implantology, guided implant surgery stands out as a significant leap forward. This technology-driven approach enhances precision, improves outcomes, and reduces both surgery time and patient discomfort. What is Guided Implant Surgery? Guided implant […]
