Dental Implant Failures!!
Dental implant failures are a night mare to both patients and dental implantologist together.
The better term would be IMPLANT LOOSENING!!

1. Lack of primary stability..that means how much stable the implant was during the placement
2. Over drilling
3. Over heating during implant osteotomy
4. High points in the teeth
5. Lateral interfernces during chewing
6. Patient biting hard food during inital healing period
7. Gross lack of oral hygiene by the patient
8. Parafunctional habits like bruximsm, night grinding etc.
9. Poor bone quality in the area especially maxillary implants
