This article describes the many failures and complications that can occur when using implants to support restorations. Most of these failures can be prevented with proper patient selection and treatment planning. Implant failures can be largely classified into four main categories: 1) loss of integration, 2) positional failures 3) soft tissue defects, and 4) biomechanical failures. Each of these will be discussed with examples to illustrate the problem.
