Why Implants Fail
### Implant Success and Failure Factors Dr. Fadi Barrak discusses factors affecting both early and later implant success, including surgical technique and infection control, as well as cementitis and periodontitis complications. ### Particle Release from Implant Material Beyond these acknowledged factors, Dr. Barrak covers a new consideration: particle release from implant material. He examines the effects of releasing non-titanium micro-particles during osseointegration, including impacts on biofilm formation, periodontitis development, macrophage response, and inflammatory processes.
