Why Dental Implants Go Wrong
\
Implants that fail completely will be permanently movable. Other signs of a dental implant that has lost osseointegration?include pain, swelling, and infection, but this is not always the case. Radiographs of failed implants usually show bone loss around the implant.
Osseointegration is a biological process that allows dental implants to function properly by creating bone cells around the surface of the implant, surrounding it, and fixing it to the jawbone. If osseointegration does not proceed properly, it can cause problems and lead to dental implant failure after placement of the dental implant.
