Using sound dental principles to salvage the compromised implant case.
Implant failure can usually be determined by biologic and biomechanical factors that were not addressed during treatment planing and case design. In order to salvage the failing implant-supported prosthesis, these factors must be identified and corrected. Long-term success can only be achieved when prosthetic design, osseous and soft tissue architecture, and implant biomechanics are diagnosed and corrected.
