DISCLAIMER
The case studies presented on this website regarding the principles and mechanical issues of implant mechanical rescue patients represent only a very small percentage of the over 5 million dental implants placed each year. Our intent is not to single out or target any particular implant system. However, given that certain systems have a larger market share, they may naturally appear more frequently in these case studies. The goal is to provide insight into real-world challenges and solutions, not to critique specific brands or manufacturers.

SCREW RECOVERY

These case studies focus specifically on implant screw problems and are organized by case complexity—from straightforward to highly complex. This approach demonstrates how a structured diagnostic and treatment algorithm can guide clinicians in safely managing screw-related complications while minimizing implant damage.

ABUTMENT RECOVERY

These case studies involve implant abutment problems categorized by the type of failure: Titanium fracture, Zirconia fracture, or TiBase complications. Each category highlights distinct mechanical challenges and guides clinicians in selecting appropriate diagnostic and rescue protocols for effective resolution.

IATROGENIC ISSUES

These case studies examine early mechanical failures caused by iatrogenic factors, specifically involving the use of incorrect implant components, improper ultrasonic techniques, or inaccurate tooling. Categorized into “Wrong Components,” “Ultrasonic Use,” and “Inaccurate Tooling,” the cases highlight preventable errors that compromise implant integrity and emphasize the need for precise protocols and equipment.
