Primary stability: how important is it for implant success?
Primary stability is defined as the capacity of the bone, in which the dental implant is inserted, to guarantee the absence of implant mobility before the osseointegration process takes place. The stability of the implant is first of all guaranteed by the properties of the bone, including bone thickness and density, qualities that allow a […]
Post-extractive implantology on an infected tooth: consequences
Post-extractive implantology is a special dental technique that involves the insertion of dental implants immediately after tooth extraction. The dentist proceeds to the extraction of the tooth only if it is indispensable, the priority of dentistry in fact is to preserve the natural teeth in any clinical case in which it is feasible. The extracted […]

Post implant surgery: risk factor infections
In post-implant surgery, infections are a fairly rare complication, but they are still considered by dentistry as a risk factor that increases the chances of implant failure. Infections in the post-implant operation The possibility of contracting an infection in the period immediately following an implant surgery, that is, within the first month of surgery, is […]
Computer guided implantology: what it is
Modern dentistry makes use of multiple techniques for inserting dental implants, each technique responding to the specificity of the clinical case. Among the different techniques there is also that of computer guided implantology, let’s see what it is. Computer guided implantology: how it works Computer-guided implantology is one of the possible techniques used for inserting […]
Contraindications for implantology: what you need to know
A patient looking for information on dental implants often asks a question: what contraindications for implantology? Let’s try to give an exhaustive answer in this article.

The removal of a dental implant is a rare intervention given the high percentage of successes in modern implantology. However, when an implant failure occurs, it may be necessary to remove the implant. Removal of a dental implant: when necessary The removal of a dental implant, due to the rarity with which it is performed, […]
Dental implants fracture: under what circumstances?
Dental implants rarely fracture, because implantology has achieved excellent success rates in recent years. But it is an eventuality that, even if in very minimal percentages, can occur. Let’s see in what circumstances. When dental implants fracture To quantify the probabilities of fracture of a dental implant in numerical terms, we can say that, according […]
Rejection of the implant: a false belief
