Dental Implant Failure
Most implants placed today are root form implants.Root form implants problems can be classified as ailing, failing, or failed:
Loosening screws: Make sure that a prosthetic screw is used, not a laboratory screw. The framework does not have a passive fit and the screw is used to compress the framework to the implants, the bridge is retained by implants and natural teeth that are mobile, the occlusion (bite) is off. Osseointegration Failure: Unfortunately, a popular cause of implant failure if certain protocols are not followed closely. Optimal integration of the implant device into the jawbone requires an acceptable level of healthy bone (porosity values + ample blood supply), matching of implant size to location in jaw, proper site preparation and suitable bone augmentation (bone grafts) deemed necessary. Osseointegration can also fail due to premature loading of the implant restoration. It is generally accepted that osseointegration can require 3-6 months or more, depending on preoperative oral health conditions. 
In our office, Dr. Marinic uses digital technologies (Ostell Mentor) to assess the degree of osseointegration for traditional implants. Guesswork is eliminated via assessments that are also used to determine need for bone fortification and for accurately treating suspected implant failures.The use of the Ostell Mentor enables Dr. Marinic to provide implant opportunities for many patients who, historically, have been told they were marginal candidates due to unreliable predictability of treatment sucess.

Improper implant placement: The implant is placed in an area that is unrestorable. A special trephine drill is available for most major implant systems to remove the implants. The drill is razor thin and fits on the outside of the implant. It is irrigated from the inside. This prevents additional bone loss and the irrigant reduces the overheating of the bone. They are very expensive drills, however they are the "kindest" to the tissue. Fractured implants: Using the wrong type, size, quantity, position or length of implant, thereby causing over loading, may result in implant failure. It is imperative that the fractured implant be removed as atraumatically as possible. Fractured abutments: The principle concern is to maintain the health of the implant. In some cases the abutment may simply require a new screw. Other cases may necessitate remaking the abutment and/or crown. Prosthetic failures: The initial design of the prosthesis plays a large role in the servicablity. Large multi-unit cases should be screw retained. Although they are more costly and complex inititally, they generally do not have to be completely remade in the event a repair is necessary. Tooth material failures: Often the patient is better served by the use of a compomer or acrylic surface in large prosthetic case rather than using porcelain. The physical properties are more forgiving than hard porcelain. This acts as a shock absorber to reduce the load on the implants.
