number of reasons why dental implants can fail have been discussed.
While the likelihood of dental implants failing to take hold in a patient are slim, there are a number of cases every year where this happens and patients and professionals have therefore been informed of the top causes of this.
According to WorlDental, it is more likely that implants in the upper jaw will fail and this is an unknown phenomena. However, other reasons can be infection, poor hygiene or a lack of strength in the bone into which the implant is fixed.
The resource noted: “If you don’t take adequate care of an implant once it is in position, it can also result in a failure of the implant.
“If you happen to notice bleeding or pain that is excessive after an implant, you have to get in touch with your dentist as soon as possible.”
Meanwhile, the Korea Times recently reported that older patients planning to have this type of procedure carried out could use familial baby teeth to have bone transplants in the jaw to boost its strength.
The new treatment has been tested by researchers in the country and it was found that the similar DNA types mean there is less likelihood of rejection.
