Abstract <p>The prevalence of implants in the medical field has risen steadily, serving as a viable option for the substitution or reinforcement of impaired body parts across a range of medical disciplines, such as orthopedics and dentistry. Despite progress in methods and the technology used for implants, the issue of implant failure continues to be a noteworthy apprehension. This extensive examination seeks to present a summary of implant materials, the implant manufacturing process, factors influencing implant failure, and the ensuing clinical repercussions. The review delves into various types of implant failures, encompassing biological concerns like infections and complications associated with soft tissues, along with their root causes. Furthermore, it outlines various approaches for addressing implant failures and sheds light on the challenges healthcare professionals encounter in managing these situations. The review’s concluding observations underscore the need for greater study to understand the underlying causes of implant failure and develop preventative interventions. It emphasizes the necessity of collaboration among medical professionals, engineers, and researchers in improving patient well-being and increasing the efficacy of implant treatments.</p> Clinical trial <p>Not applicable.</p>
