Practical Tips for Managing Implant Complications in Primary Care
摘要
Dental implant placement and restoration are becoming increasingly common in primary care [1]. With this in mind, predictable implant therapy can only be achieved with appropriate case assessment, treatment planning, and surgical provision. However, dental team members may be increasingly faced with addressing biological and prosthetic implant complications at the time of implant restoration or after delivery of the final restorative structure. Adler [2] outlines that biological and technical complications following implant placement can range from 32 to 52%. The range and complexity of these prosthetic and biological complications may be reasonably assessed and managed in primary care. In this short article, we discuss a range of frequently occurring complications, with a range of tips on how best to manage these complications in primary care.
