Abstract

Success of osseointegrated dental implants has been consistently high in most clinical situations where proper diagnostic procedures, treatment planning, and surgical placement have taken place. Osseointegration is the intimate contact of a titanium implant with a bone surface. There is no reported chemical bond taking place between bone and titanium, but there is an absence of fibrous scar tissue. It has been believed that once osseointegration is established between bone and implant surface, this intimate relationship continues to be maintained. The sustained osseointegration has provided the biological rationale for favourable long-term prognosis of dental implant therapy. However, with the increasing use of dental implants placed in ever more demanding circumstances, the number of complications has also risen.
