Complications in Oral Implant Placement

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Complications in Cranio-Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery

Abstract

The placement of dental endosseous implants is a safe and reliable routine method for functional and esthetic rehabilitation of partial or total edentulism. Even so, there is an immanent potential for both short- and long-term complications in oral implant placement leading to not only minor but also major impairments of the affected patients. Most of the complications occur unexpected while others will be iatrogenic.
