Complications

Partial Maxillary Anterior Complications

Lessons learned:

• Remove remaining portion of retaining screw.
• How to fill.

Partial Maxillary Posterior Complications

Lessons learned:

• Patients with insufficient bone may require grafting prior to implant placement
• Insufficient bone is good for intergration, but not for function.
• If the framework does not fit, it can be sectioned and luted (2nd impression required if prosthesis does not fit).
• Perforation of sinus

Partial Mandibular Posterior Complications

Lessons learned:

• Do not place immediate implant and immediate prosthesis after initial implant failure.
• Critical implant failure is managed by filling the failed implant coping with resin and cementing the prosthesis to the implant.
• Infected area must be cleaned well and allowed to heal.
