Abstract

Abstract: At dental hospitals and general dental practices across the UK there are increasing numbers of patients attending with problems related to their dental implants. Many of the most challenging to deal with are those where implants were placed many years previously. With more evidence now available from long-term studies, this paper will look at the causes and incidence of implant and prosthesis complications, and suggest practical methods of management in these cases. The impact of obsolete implant systems on patient treatment will be considered, and how age-related patient factors can alter the management of these cases.

CPD/Clinical Relevance: To explore the needs and treatment burden of patients with implant-retained restorations and consider important factors in the care and management of these patients over time.

Article

Dental implants are increasingly common, with more patients and practitioners embracing this technique for supporting fixed or removable prostheses. As with all forms of dentistry, planning for maintenance and failure is important and can be assisted by incorporating elements that will make replacement and revision easier for dentists and patients.

At dental hospitals and specialist centres across the UK, there are increasing numbers of patients attending with problems related to their dental implants. Many of the most challenging to deal with can be those where implants were placed many years previously. With a scarcity of evidence for the management of implants and implant prostheses beyond 15 years, this paper aims to look at the challenges that occur in this cohort of patients and make suggestions as to how cases can be managed and maintained.

A 2002 systematic review identified that the incidence of complications occurring in overdenture superstructures was approximately 4–10 times higher with implants used in overdenture therapy compared with implant fixed prostheses.1
