Abstract
Implant treatment is regarded as a safe technique with high rates of success ( Adell et al.,
1981; Adell et al., 1990; Buser et al., 1997; Buser et al., 2000; Wennström et al., 2005).
Nevertheless, it has, as every surgical procedure, several complications that can occur and
that must be known in order to prevent or solve them. Implantology is an ever growing
field that is reaching the practice of general dentists due to the simplification of technical
procedures. Specialists in oral surgery now perform more demanding procedures, along
with general dentists, they must pay special attention during the learning curve in order to
avoid risks.
The osseointegration process is considered to be safe and durable by both patients and
dentists, for this reason, implants are considered as the first option to treat almost all cases
of complete or partial edentulism. Regarded as a problem free procedure, it´s demand is
increasing. Despite the severe complications index is low, risk evaluation must be conducted
systematically during the preoperatory stage based on clinical history, thorough exploration
and if necessary consulting other specialists, dentists or physicians. Only by using a good
work protocol, we can detect the local and systemic risk factors that could determine the
success of the treatment and allow us to implement preventive measures if needed...
