Complications of Removable Implant Supported Prostheses

Introduction The two main complications that result from removable implants are biological and mechanical/technical complications. There is need to assess and interpret data on the incidence of complications, both biological and technical with caution. Berglundh, Persson, and Klinge (2002), found that implant loss was the most common problem, while technical complications were observable in about 60-80% and biological complications – 40-60% of the studies they evaluated. According to Sadowsky (2007), there are no specifications on the length, distribution, and number of implants; however the suggestion for non-palatal coverage designs should be a minimum of 4 implants. In case of risk ...

In the current paper, we will discuss the complications in removable implant prosthesis, fabrication, delivery, and function. For the purpose of understanding these topics better, we need to understand the basic concepts of dental implants first. A dental implant can be described as an artificial replacement of a tooth root which is placed in the jaw for the purpose of holding a replaced tooth or a bridge. Dental implants can be used as an option for the patients who had lost a tooth as a result of a periodontal disease, injury or any other reason. Two different types of ...

Cavernous Sinus is a large collection of thin walled veins creating a cavity bordered by sphenoid bone and the temporal bone of the skull (Andersson, Kahnberg, and Pogrel 555). It lies within the skull, found behind each orbit, and contains cranial nerve III, cranial nerve IV, ophthalmic and maxillary nerves. The core function of the Cavernous Sinus is to drain blood from the brain, back to the heart (Andersson, Kahnberg, and Pogrel 555). In light with this, Cavernous Sinus Thrombosis (CST) is a thrombophlebitis cavernous sinus, caused by the blockage of a large vein within the Cavernous Sinus due to the formation of a ...
