Prosthetic complications of dental implants

Abstract

Abstract
Background:The purpose of this study was to assess the occurrence of prosthetic problems
associated with dental implants.
Material and methods:A total of 100 patients who had undergone implant treatment were
included in this investigation. The analysis of prosthetic problems associated with implants
was conducted in the aforementioned participants.
Results: It was observed that the most common prosthetic complication of implants had
been loosening of the overdenture retentive mechanism (45%) followed by implant loss in
irradiated maxillae (28%), haemorrhage-related complications (16%), resin veneer fracture
with fixed partial dentures (5%), implant loss with maxillary overdentures (3%),
overdentures needing to be relined (1%), implant loss in type IV bone (1%), and
overdenture clip/attachment fracture (1%).
Conclusion: The study's findings indicated that the predominant complication observed
among prosthetic implants was the loosening of the overdenture retentive mechanism,
which accounted for around 45% of the recorded occurrences.
Keywords: prosthetic complications, dental implants.
