Why Do Current Dental Implants Fail
Current dental implants are made of a screw-like titanium post that is placed directly into the jawbone. Titanium is used due to its superior biocompatibility and its ability to osseointegrate with the surrounding jawbone.
- Failure of osseointegration between the implant and the bone tissue
- Infection of the surgical area
- In rare cases, the body may even reject having a titanium implant
