Answer
Implant-treatment troubles may include the following:
Peri-implantitis:
Mainly caused by poor oral hygiene.
Implants require regular cleaning similar to natural teeth.
Cleaning between implants and between implants and natural teeth using dental floss and interdental brushes is essential.
Professional cleanings by a dentist or dental hygienist are also necessary for preventing infections.
Implant Fracture:
Implant fracture is reported to occur in about 1% of cases and is attributed to abnormal habits like teeth grinding or clenching.
Although the occurrence rate is extremely low, removing a fractured implant may involve significant bone removal, leading to a notable impact on the jawbone.
Prosthesis Damage:
Prosthesis fractures, loosening, or breakage of the screw used to secure the prosthesis can occur due to the lack of cushioning functions like periodontal ligament found in natural teeth.
