title: Using sound dental principles to salvage the compromised implant case.
abstract: 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.
