Introduction
The role of a dental professional is not just limited to the
treatment of the oral condition presented by the patient, his
responsibility further extends to identify the kind of complication
or failure that may occur or has occurred either during the course
of treatment or post treatment.
The dental implant is a foreign structure that the physiologic
system of the body has to accept. Though made of a material
with properties close to the body tissues, the implant is still
different and is definitely susceptible to the various biological and
mechanical problems.
Absence of mobility
Average radiographic marginal bone loss of less than 1.5mm
during the first year of function and 0.2mm annually thereafter.
Absence of pain and or paresthesia.
Measurement of probing depths related to a fixed reference
point and assessment of bleeding on probing.

Solutions
The implant placement will stop the
bleeding
Remove the implant and
replace with
one of larger diameter. If the mobility is
small, prolong the healing time.
