Factors Affecting Implant Healing

The survival and success of dental implants depends on many factors such as bone quality and quantity, the patient's health, the implant's design, and surgical technique.

Equally important is what happens after surgery. Long-term success depends on patient compliance and proper hygiene, including cleaning beneath full-arch implant restorations.

Surgical Technique

Maintaining bone temperature below 47 degrees Celsius during implant osteotomy preparation is crucial to prevent necrosis.

To prevent overheating, implant surgeons will irrigate the osteotomy with saline during preparation.

However, a challenge arises when surgical guides are used as they can obstruct the saline irrigation from reaching the osteotomy.
