Solutions to complications of implant therapy.

Restorative dentists face challenges when implant dentistry is performed without a surgical template. Manufactured component parts (particularly screws, gold cylinders, and the implant bodies themselves) can also cause problems during these procedures. These problems will occur regardless of the mode of retention used for the prosthesis, since the same metals are involved and nearly all implant restorations have a screw somewhere. Managing these complications is essential to avoid treatment failures.
