Did your patient's implant fail years later? It's still YOUR FAULT!
from Implants Made Simple · host Dr. Robert Stanley
You placed a dental implant in your patient's mouth 5 years ago. You used a guide and the implant ended up exactly where you planned it with excellent torque. You got great osseointegration and the site healed beautifully. Your patient cooperated and after 2 weeks, 6 months, and a year, everything looked great. 5 years later, your patient calls you with a problem: Their crown has totally delaminated! Shocked, you ask what they ate for dinner last night. "Just bread," they say. "Right," you think. Stop! Your patient isn't lying to you. And this implant failure isn't their fault. It's yours. Even years down the road, the vast majority of implant failures are fatigue failures caused by poor design and poor implant selection by the doctor. Cantilevers, weaker titanium, and dozens of other factors–which are mostly under our control–contribute to these types of failures. Check out this week's video to see how five-year failures are still your fault–and how to make sure this never happens to you again.
