The cause is often related to a failure in the Osseointegration process (The growth action of bone tissue). For instance, if the implant is placed in a poor quality bone, or incorrect position,Osseointegration may not take place.
Dental implants may break or become infected (like natural teeth).
Regrettably, dental implant failure is a common occurrence. even when proper procedures are followed, things can go wrong. When you're dealing with the human body, it isn't possible to have 100% predictable outcomes. But when treatment standards are compromised, it invites difficulty.
Some failure happens despite the best efforts of the dentist and the patient. But some are result of the natural tendency of both dentists and patients to look for the short-cuts. Here some of the causes:
Inadequate medical history: There are many medical conditions that affect the success of dental implant treatment. Thoroughness and care by the dentist can prevent dental implant failure later.
Low quality dental implant fixtures: There are over two hundred companies that manufacture these fixtures, but only a handful of have published juried research with test results documenting the quality of those fixtures.
Incorrect tooth implant placement: This could be tied to an inadequate diagnosis, because it's during the diagnostic phase that the decision is made where to place the implant. It could also be the fact that most dentists place dental implants with only a two-dimensional panoramic x-ray. While such x-ray is adequate for most dental surgery, it isn't sufficient for properly placing implants.
The success of dental implants is highly dependent on the skill of the dentist performing the dental implant procedure. It is however worth bearing in mind what could go wrong and why it is so important to choose a cosmetic dentist who has years of experience and is a known expert in the field of cosmetic dentistry and more importantly dental implants.
