pre-implant disease is an inflammatory process that affects the surrounding tissues of a functional osseointegrated implant. it is usually the result of a disequilibrium between the micro-flora and the defense system. this case reports a 57-year-old man with unusual bone loss around dental implants. this was an unusual case of peri-implantitis that occurred only in the implants on one side of t...

one of the complications during a routine dental implant placement is accidental ingestion of the implant instruments, which can happen when proper precautions are not taken. appropriate radiographs should be taken to locate the correct position of foreign body; usually the foreign body passes asymptomatically from gastrointestinal tract but sometimes it may lead to intestinal obstruction, perf...

Capsular contraction is a frequent complication following breast augmentation. On the other hand, capsular weakness, a not widely recognized complication, may occur around the implant. A weak capsule allows the migration of the prosthesis to the lateral region of the thoracic region or inferiorly, towards the abdomen, due to gravitational forces. The cause of capsular weakness remains unresolve...

this report is on a migration of a steinman pin into the posterior com department of the calf. it was used to fix a greater trochanteric osteotomy in a total hip arthroplasty. the puzzling note is how this metal piece passed through the anterolateral compartment of the thigh to the posterior compartment of the calf. accord ing to our literature review, migration of fixation pins through the kne...

Abstract Implant-based restoration is currently seen to be a more reliable option with higher success rates. Biological and technological problems, on the other hand, are common. An implant insertion complication well known many loosening of abutment screw. Fractures implant-abutment may cause fail function efficiently as they leave fragment inside implant. This study aimed introduce modified d...

PURPOSE The modified lateral-screw-retained implant prosthesis (LSP) is designed to combine the advantages of screw- and cement-retained implant prostheses. This retrospective study evaluated the mechanical and biological complication rates of implant-supported single crowns (ISSCs) inserted with the modified LSP in the posterior region, and determined how these complication rates are affected ...

BACKGROUND Migration of dental implants into the maxillary sinus is an uncommon, but increasingly reported complication. Implant migration may result from initial lack of primary stability, intrasinusal and nasal pressure changes, autoimmune reaction to the implant or incorrect distribution of occlusal forces. This retrospective study aims at analyzing the factors that may influence implant mig...
