Patients with implant compilations often have systemic or local reasons for failures. The systemic factors will be reviewed based on published data. Local reason for failure will be discussed with presentation of methods with literature evidence demonstrating approaches to mitigate the problems, resulting in restoration of the patient. This session will present these procedures using literature-based clinical trial information and case series from the speaker. The techniques for soft-tissue grafting and hard-tissue augmentation will be shown in detail so attendees can utilize them at their practices.
