Abstract

The wish of partially edentulous patients for maximum comfort and aesthetics in prosthetic therapy is frequently connected with the insertion of an implant. The implant replaces or restores the natural tooth as the abutment of a fixed or mobile prosthetic device. Thus implantology is a prosthetically oriented discipline of dental medicine where the prosthodontist supervises a plan of implantation and is responsible for carrying out IP therapy, which is primarily realised in cooperation with a surgeon, and very often also in a team with a periodontologist and orthodontist. The mutual aim is maximal aesthetic and functional treatment of the patient and optimal functional durability of the IP therapy. It is, therefore, justifiable to speak of implantological prosthetics. Possible complications are connected with certain parts of the implantation system, and can arise in clinical work or are connected with the patient himself.
The aim of the study was to show, based on clinical cases, the most frequent mistakes which lead to unsatisfactory aesthetic results; from the choice of type and size of implant to the direction and depth of insertion; disregard for the condition of adjacent teeth, periodontium, bone base and existing prosthetic devices, to bad patient cooperation, with regard to the maintenance of optimal hygienic and structural conditions.
