IN THE PAST
Treatment plan developed according to available
bone
NOWADAYS
Treatment planning developed by esthetics and
ideal biomechanics
Ideal position dedicated by prosthesis
If no available bone (augmentation)
FAILURE
Failure with prosthesis 3-6 times than surgical failure
Meta analysis
Surgical failure 15%
Failure with prosthesis more than 30%
EARLY LOADING FAILURE
Failure within 18 months of loading related to
biomechanical factors
Due to:
High occlusal stresses
Bone too weak to support
HOW TO AVOID?
Eliminating cantileveer
Ideal implant position
Adequate implant number
Splinting implant
MECHANICAL COMPLICATIONS
MAY BE EXACERBATED BY
Parafunctional habits
Unfavoravble opposing dentition
Improper occlusal scheme

KEY IMPLANT POSITION RULES OF
FIXED IMPLANT PROSTHESIS (4)
1. Cantilevers on the prosthesis reduced or eliminated (especially in the
maxilla); therefore the terminal abutments in the prosthesis are key
positions
4. The arch is divided into five segments. When more than one segment
of an arch is being replaced, a key implant position is at least one

IMPLANT NUMBER
One of the most efficient methods to increase surface area and decrease
stress is to increase the implant number
. Additional numbers are most often required and are primarily related to
the patient force factors and to bone density in the edentulous sites.
MANDIBLE
As a general observation the number of implants range from five to nine,
When fewer than six implants are used, a cantilever must be designed
in a fixed prosthesis as a result of the mandibular flexure.
MAXILLA
A greater number of implants is generally required in the maxilla to
compensate for the less-dense bone and more unfavorable
biomechanics of the premaxilla
implants.
4. decrease the risk for implant component fracture.
IN ADDITION
if an independent implant fails over time, the implant is removed, the
site is grafted, the site is reimplanted, and a new crown is fabricated.
When multiple splinted implants have an implant that fails, the affected
implant sectioned below the crown, and the implant or crown site
converted to a pontic using the same prosthesis., rather than several
surgical and prosthetic procedures over an extended period when
independent units are restored, the
The splinted implants distribute less force to the implant bodies, which decreases
the risk for marginal bone loss and implant body fracture.
