Lecture:
Biomechanical Complications in Implant Dentistry
The use of dental implant-supported protheses in the restoration of partially dentate
and edentulous arch has increased in the past decades. Even though implant surfaces,
designs, implant-abutment connections, biomaterials, and implant prosthodontics
have significantly advanced in the past years, complications continue to be reported.
Biomechanical complication is perhaps the most occurring complications in dental
implant therapy. This type of complications occurs after the loading of the implant via fixed-
provisional, fixed-definitive or removal prosthesis. Various mechanical complications have
been reported including abutment screw loosening, abutment screw facture, abutment
fracture, implant fracture, crestal bone loss and failure of the prosthesis. Biomechanical
complication is primarily the consequent of mismanagement of occlusion but can also be
secondary to malposition of the implants and poor prosthetic designs. In this lecture, Dr
Eshamsul will speak about the different type of biomechanical complications. He will share
his experience in managing various type of mechanical complications and how to avoid
such occurrences in our clinical practice.
