Implant reversible complications: classification and treatments

Implant Dent. 2005 Sep;14(3):211-20. doi: 10.1097/01.id.0000173334.60107.1a.

Abstract

Failures of dental implants are detrimental to both patients and dental providers. These failures are often preceded by complications at various levels of the treatment phases. Early detection of the complications that are amenable to rescue therapies may reverse the fate of the implant. This review article discusses diagnosis, classification, and treatment aspects of the reversible complications commonly encountered during routine dental implant-related procedures.
