Dental implant treatments can present two main complications, mechanical and biological. Find out more about the importance of correct treatment planning and adequate prosthetic design towards preventing peri-implant diseases.
There are some complications related to implant therapy that can occur over time. Among them, esthetic complications are usually the most noticeable for patients. These esthetic complications can impair patients’ perception of implant therapy and possibly leave a negative impact on their quality of life. Read this article for treatment goals and approaches for the management of implant esthetic complications.
Peri-implantitis is regarded as a biofilm-mediated inflammatory condition that leads to progressive bone loss. The goal in the surgical therapy of peri-implantitis from the technical perspective is to shift from a negative to a positive or flat bone architecture that assists in the resolution of inflammation.

This feature kicks off with an interview with Dr. Pravinkumar Patil. Originally from Vajrachounde, a small village in India, Pravinkumar moved to Malaysia in 2014 where he is currently working as an Associate Professor in Prosthodontics at IMU School of Dentistry, Kuala Lumpur.
Introduction Achieving long-term esthetic success by replacing missing teeth with dental implants is often challenging for clinicians. Predictable results can only be achieved when an adequate diagnosis and application of the most current scientific evidence are considered. Several variables significantly impact the treatment outcome of fixed implant-supported rehabilitation in the
on our clinical experience and current scientific evidence when using monolithic zirconia in screw-retained fixed full arch cases.
Provisional prostheses play an essential role in testing prosthodontic parameters before the construction of definitive restorations. These parameters include soft tissue shaping for an optimal emergence profile, the occlusal scheme, and esthetics. The fabrication of such transitional prostheses is not mandatory for every patient, but some of the factors that
Introduction We have seen many advances in dental implant designs and surface technologies in recent years. For some time, however, the prosthodontic management and components have been based on a conventional analog laboratory pathway utilizing burn-out and metal castings that deliver a wide spectrum in accuracy of the final prostheses.
