Abstract

Dental implants have revolutionized the treatment for edentulous and partially edentulous patients, andsuccessful implant integration has been well documented for patients with those clinical conditions. Withthe high rate of implant success for edentulous individuals, the concept of osseointegrationhas become apredictable treatment modality[2]. Yet this cutting-edge treatment modality is not without its own set ofadversities. Implant failures are as common as implant success. The types of implant failures are 1) loss ofintegration, 2) positional failures 3) soft tissue defects, and 4) biomechanical failures. In this article we cometo the conclusion that the mechanical stability of the implant is a multi-factorial aspect.
