The role of the dentist in dental implant failure
Before a dental implant is placed, the dentist performs a detailed examination by performing radiological examinations. If the patient is not suitable for implant treatment, the treatment is not applied. If necessary, preparations such as bone graft or sinus graft are made. The type of implant applied must be suitable for the patient. Implants should be placed correctly in the jaw bone. The implant should easily complete the osseointegration process. During the procedure, sterilisation should be ensured to protect the patient from infection.
Dentists determine the most appropriate treatment by taking these factors into account. Incorrect application leads to complications such as infection, implant rejection or misalignment.

The patient's post-treatment care, lifestyle choices and compliance with follow-up appointments are key to ensuring that the implant remains healthy. Patients should limit smoking and alcohol use and fulfil their daily dental care routines.
