Prosthetic complications with implant prostheses (2001-2017)
European Journal of Oral Implantology
|August 16, 2018
Summary
Implant overdentures show more complications than other implant prostheses, with single crowns having the fewest. Some overdenture complication rates increased since 2003.
Area of Science:
- Dental Implantology
- Prosthodontics
- Biomaterials Science
Background:
- Dental implant prostheses are widely used for tooth replacement.
- Understanding prosthetic complications is crucial for long-term implant success.
- Previous data from 2003 provide a baseline for comparison.
Purpose of the Study:
- To update data on prosthetic complications for various implant-supported restorations.
- To compare current complication data with a 2003 publication.
- To identify trends and changes in complication incidence over time.
Main Methods:
- Systematic literature review using Medline (PubMed) database.
- Focused on clinical studies reporting prosthetic complications.
- Included implant fixed complete dentures, overdentures, fixed partial dentures, and single crowns.
Main Results:
- Implant overdentures exhibited the highest number and incidence of complications (17 reported).
- Implant single crowns showed the lowest incidence of complications (6 reported).
- Denture tooth fracture (complete dentures), need for adjustments (overdentures), porcelain fracture (partial dentures), and abutment screw loosening (single crowns) were most common.
Conclusions:
- Implant overdentures present a higher complication rate compared to other implant prostheses.
- Implant single crowns demonstrate the lowest complication rates.
- Certain complications with implant overdentures, such as retentive attachment reactivation and mucosal hyperplasia, have increased since 2003.

865
DialyzersA hemodialysis (HD) dialyzer is a plastic cartridge containing thousands of parallel hollow fibers, which serve as semipermeable membranes. These fibers are typically made from cellulose-based or other synthetic materials. During HD, blood is pumped into the top of the cartridge and distributed among these fibers. Simultaneously, dialysis fluid, known as dialysate, is introduced into the bottom of the cartridge, bathing the outside of the fibers. Across the semipermeable membrane,...

2.4K
For most patients, experiencing several weeks of polyuria, polydipsia, fatigue, and significant weight loss may indicate the presence of diabetes. Furthermore, adults displaying the phenotypic appearance of type 2 diabetes (particularly those who are obese and not initially insulin-requiring), may have islet cell autoantibodies, suggesting autoimmune-mediated β cell destruction and a diagnosis of latent autoimmune diabetes of adults (LADA). The categorization of glucose homeostasis is...

Understanding the variety of primary symptoms and systemic complications that characterize chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is crucial for healthcare professionals.
Symptoms of COPD can be classified as primary or systemic. Primary symptoms relate to reduced airflow, while systemic or extrapulmonary symptoms relate to COPD's broader impact on the body.
