MINIMIZING IMPLANT FAILURES
Abstract
Despite significant advances in devices and techniques, placement of dental implants at a correct
position as per the esthetic, biological, and functional perspective still remains a challenge, because the
trajectory of implants is seldom consistent with that of natural teeth due to the bone loss that follows
extraction. Computerized‑implant‑dentistry being highly predictable and minimally invasive in nature
has also allowed implant placement in patients with medical comorbidities (e.g. radiation therapy, blood
dyscrasias), in patients with complex problems following a significant alteration of the bony anatomy as
a result of benign or malignant pathology of the jaws or trauma and in patients with other physical and
emotional problems. With significant achievements accomplished in the field of computerized
implant‑dentistry, attempts are now been made toward complete automation of implant‑dentistry.
