title: Management of implant-related problems and infections.
abstract: Problem-solving and treating various types of infections that can cause alveolar bone loss or inferior alveolar nerve dehiscences by failed implants or teeth are discussed. The reasons why implants fail from either surgical or prosthetic errors are reviewed. Treatment remedies which have solved numerous implant-related problems are offered. The eclectic, multi-modal implant surgical and prosthetic abilities of the clinician necessary today for successfully treating patients presenting with troubled or infected implants are reviewed.
