When a tooth is lost as a consequence of trauma or illness, there may be unpleasant side effects such quick bone loss, speech problems, or altered chewing habits. The patient's health and quality of life can be greatly enhanced by using a dental implant to replace a missing tooth.
Dental implant systems are made up of an implant body, an abutment, and, in some cases, an abutment fixation screw.
In lieu of the tooth's root, the dental implant body is surgically placed in the jawbone. The dental implant abutment often extends through the gums into the mouth to support the connected artificial teeth after being fixed to the implant body with an abutment fixation screw.
A person who requires dental implants may see a considerable improvement in their health and quality of life. But issues might sometimes happen. Dental implant complications might happen right away or take a long time to manifest. Some issues lead to implant failure, which is often characterised by implant loss or looseness. If an implant fails, further surgery may be required to repair or replace the implant system.
