Abstract

Complications in ID can be classified as biological, associated with peri-implant tissues such as the mucosa and alveolar bone, and hardware-related complications referring to the implant itself as well as prosthetic components (Braegger and Heitz-Mayfield 2015). Complications associated with dental implants can lead to implant failure and to its loss. Implant failures can be divided into two categories. The first, early failures, occurs no later than 6 months after implantation or before the implants are loaded. The second, late failures, occurs beyond the initial 6-month period after implantation (Shemtov-Yona and Rittel 2015).
