Title: Biomechanics success and failure of dental implants

Biography:

Mazen Aljurf, Master of Science in Oral Implantology from Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main – Germany, build up a knowledge of dental implant system resistant to many failure causative factors extending its life-time. He has done his master thesis study on outweighing the clinical advantages and disadvantages of hydroxyapatite dental implants to avoid frequent late failures. While placing dental implant is his main work in his dental office, his main concern is always to protect the whole system from noxious loading conditions.

Abstract

The treatment planning sequence for implant dentistry begins with the design of final restoration.

While most of dental implants complications arise post to loading prostheses fabrication, more focus should be taken in consideration to build a unique superstructure system that is able to improve the prognosis particularly for high risky patients who suffer from various parafunctional habits.

To diminish failure rate and prolong the success rate of complicated occlusal skim, seven hints should closely be followed;

1. Adjust the harmful occlusion prior to final prosthesis delivery.
2. Restore neighboring teeth to their ultimate strength.
3. Use a reliable dental implant system.
4. Have the widest possible dental implant body (Avoid ≤ 3.0 mm and > 5.0 mm).
5. Restore the implant-abutment system to the highest resistant status.
6. If possible, build the prosthesis 0.5 mm out of occlusion.
7. Firmly follow up the case within first year then every six months for the next decade.
