[Failure of dental implants following psychosomatic disturbances in the stomatognathic system--a clinical-catamnestic study].

Nowadays dental implantations are highly successful if individual indications are taken into consideration. From our experiences with patients from the Research Institute for Psychopathology and Psychosomatics, we would like to point out a contraindication for the treatment of dental implants, which until now has been hardly considered. A special case report shows that psychosomatic problems and pains in the maxillofacial region can be the cause of failure of dental implants.
