Lecture: How To Minimise Biological Implant Complications
The WHO Global Oral Health Status Report (2022) estimated that oral diseases affect close
to 3.5 billion people worldwide. Of which, severe periodontal diseases are estimated to
affect around 19% of the global adult population, representing more than 1 billion cases
worldwide. With the increasing demand for dental implants, the incidence of dental implant
complications will also rise. This talk will cover the contributing factors for biological implant
complications and some of the ways to minimise or prevent these complications for long
term dental implant success.
