Directions on prosthetic complications in tissue-integrated supported prosthesis

Abstract

Advances in medical sciences have brought many patients the gift of longevity of life and we have large percentage of people who are aged and having physiologic, psychologic aging problems. Stomatognathic system is most frequently affected and handicapped with sequelae of oral and dental diseases. Patients are frequently partially dentate or completely edentulous. Restoration of these partially dentate or completely edentulous patients has offered much therapeutic technique. Tissue-integrated supported prosthesis is used effectively to support fixed and removable prosthesis for single and multiple tooth replacements as well as maxillofacial prosthesis. Many patients have been successfully treated with the benefit of tissue-integrated supported prosthesis by permitting diverse prosthodontic treatment. Knowledge regarding the types of complications that can occur with dental procedures is an important aspect of treatment planning, dentistpatient communication, informed consent, and post-treatment care. Success of implant restorations can be described as biologic stability, mechanical stability and hygienic ability. Even though it is not possible to calculate an overall complication incidence for implants and their associated prostheses, there appears to be a greater number of clinical complications associated with implant prostheses than any other types of prostheses evaluated. The purpose of this article is to describe some general mechanical complications that exist during the functional loading phase for other implant systems and prosthesis design for different implant designs.
