Millions failed by dental implants as lack of training for dentists exposed

Dental implants are marketed with the promise to change your smile and provide a new sense of self-confidence, but as implants surge in popularity, so do injuries. Last year alone, reports of problems with dental implants reached nearly a half million.

[@sl4983]

[@jonathanhayes535]

[@keningilbert]

What they didn’t mention is how common it is for the screw that fastens the tooth crown to the implant post to come loose and have to be retightened through your life. Just more of an inconvenience than anything, but with a small financial cost each time. Additionally the screw can only be retightened 2 to 3 times before it must be replaced in order to prevent possibility of the screw breaking.

[@LKR-vt9uf]

Screw is manufactured to be tightened once. The threads stretch under the torque into the implant body. 65% of dental implants have complications over time, including prosthetic and integration problems to the bone.

[@keningilbert]

@@LKR-vt9uf how do you know this spec? Do you have link to info on it ?

[@Jacksonabean]

Not with a good implant Ken. Unfortunately, you didn't know to ask the right questions beforehand.

[@keningilbert]

@@Jacksonabean The way it was described to me by multiple doctors is that implants are put in to match the natural direction of the roots of your teeth. In my case it’s an angle that causes a cantilever effect with the tooth and the implant post. Over time the downward pressure of the opposing tooth loosens it.

[@Jacksonabean]

@@keningilbert You're exactly right Ken. If you have a cantilever from a long crown or bone loss (think vertical cantilever) then you can get screw loosening. Can you tell me the model of your dental implant if you care to? There are implants which we hand tighten and they never need tightening again. Those are implants with a deep conical, morse taper connection. The implants literally cold weld to the abutment in most cases but these aren't typical questions asked by the patient but things are changing. If you can, have them remove any contact that's not centered over the implant itself (very situation specific) or use some good ol' loctite. I've used brands in the past that this is common and now luckily, this doesn't exist in my office. Best of luck Ken and yes, implants should always be directed toward the opposing dentition which is the direction of force. Take care, JB.

Get rid of dental insurance...put dental hygenists in charge... collaborate with orthodontists and periodontists. Introduce your Dentist to your other Doctors, ... whether they like it or not. If they're not willing to collaborate, ditch 'em... crowns & veneers come and go

I have an implant supported denture. I had to wear a denture over the implants for 90 days post implant surgery and I think that made my implants integrate into my bone so well. My implants have never had to be tightened, I broke my denture and had to purchase a new one and they had to change the position of the abutment but the implants are a part of my bone. I think it could be a lot of the time the instant gratification, the placing of the implants and loading the implants with the weight of the teeth immediately that could be part of the problem.

The dental implant procedure traumatized me. I have not felt comfortable since my oral surgeon if that's what he deserves to be called, put an implant in my #8 last month. I have been complaining about his lack of professionalism since and low and behold, today it fell out of my mouth (in tact). My "stitches" on implant site started to dissolved yesterday and this morning the implant fell out of my mouth. I am assuming the stitches were the only thing keeping the implant in my gum. It's Sunday so I have to wait a day to been seen. The company (24/7 operator) is not treating this as a dire emergency by any means. My mouth actually feels better. I don't think I was a good fit for an implant. I do envy people with two front teeth however. My goal now is to avoid paying more than what I put down for the deposit. I am holding the dentist partially responsible until I have the post surgery x-ray examined by a second party. Please let me know what you had to do after your implant fell out of your mouth. Good luck.

Hello, glad I saw your reply. Okay, I am still toothless up front. Turns out I did not have bone in my jaw and the implant should not have been offered and/or applied at the time it was. I sent a complaint to the California Dental Board and of course they sided with the dentist. He was culpable as well as Western Dental. I think Western Dental could be sued (class action) but it will take the right plaintiff and the right attorney. They sent my debt to collections and as far as I am concerned, they owe me $1500 deposit. The dentist(s) should not be able to say "your mouth rejected them" unless they did due diligence. In my case, they definitely did not. *I recommend a fake tooth that cost 10 bucks off of Amazon. It works for my missing #8. It fits better than my partial bridge did. Peace out.@@gloryBE-o1w

He went to one implant course and thought he was a master. Even after a 90% fail rate on all of his cases, he still kept the same smug attitude and kept placing implants and he is allowed to do that. No one got any money back because they signed the dotted line. Please do your research and only see those who specialize in the field, preferably someone who is recommended to you by a trusted source.

[@silasketgaskets8709]

As a medical doctor I did much research on implants as I thought I may need one. Recall a European/Scandinavian study that found comparable results between properly trained general dentists and specialists. Implants are a very lucrative procedure and it is possible some will place profit over attaining required competency first. Some outspoken dentists have even commented that an implant is just a piece of titanium and should not cost so much. Luckily there is strong competition coming from Israel and Europe offering fair realistic pricing and including zirconia.

[@mchobbit2951]

Never let a general dentist do anything but clean, fill or crown a tooth. They can do non surgical extractions too, but think more than twice about that you want an implant after rather than dentures or a bridge. General dentists shouldn't be allowed to offer things like invisalign or implants. They're in over their heads and doing it for the money. I remember when only specialists would do implants, and they would be very selective about candidates. No smokers. No 80+ year olds with massive health problems. I hate what dentistry has been allowed to become.

There’s a clinic that uses recovering drug addiction patients to give doctors clinical training,that are paying 10 grand for this course. So, these patients don’t have a clue who is putting in implants while they are sedated.

Very conflicting from the other dental implant video you posted. There are such things as early loss and late losses in dental implants which are required to be reported to the FDA. Early loss are almost always an injury and late losses could result in an injury as well. The 2% of device malfunctions is very different from the figure you posted in the last video, claiming 88% of dental implants fail. With a 2% device malfunction rate, longitudinally that just wouldn't make sense. Also, unless it's an injury, that wouldn't be an adverse event! It's very common (1/20) for patients to have SDR (Same day removals) for the implant which is misleading if you don't say that because it suggests it could just randomly fall out at any given time.
