   MeSH:	DENTAL IMPLANTATION + adverse effects
   Abstract:	The wish of partially edentulous patients for maximum comfort and aesthetics in prosthetic therapy is frequently connected with the insertion of an implant. The implant replaces or restores the natural tooth as the abutment of a fixed or mobile prosthetic device. Thus implantology is a prosthetically oriented discipline of dental medicine where the prosthodontist supervises a plan of implantation and is responsible for carrying out IP therapy, which is primarily realised in cooperation with a surgeon, and very often also in a team with a periodontologist and orthodontist. The mutual aim is maximal aesthetic and functional treatment of the patient and optimal functional durability of the IP therapy. It is, therefore, justifiable to speak of implantological prosthetics. Possible complications are connected with certain parts of the implantation system, and can arise in clinical work or are connected with the patient himself. The aim of the study was to show, based on clinical cases, the most frequent mistakes which lead to unsatisfactory aesthetic results; from the choice of type and size of implant to the direction and depth of insertion; disregard for the condition of adjacent teeth, periodontium, bone base and existing prosthetic devices, to bad patient cooperation, with regard to the maintenance of optimal hygienic and structural conditions.

   MeSH:	DENTAL IMPLANTATION + adverse effects
   Abstract:	With the ever increasing number of placed implants it is inevitable that the number of complications connected with such therapeutic procedure will also increase. One of the complications which is hardest to treat and which consequently can lead to loss of the implant, is bacterial caused periimplantitis. This case presentation describes the successful therapy of advanced periimplantitis. The male patient, aged 58 years, was referred to the periodontist because of problems in the oral cavity in the form of unpleasant breath and suppuration around the tooth and implant. During the periodontal examination it was observed that both implants on places 22 and 25 were affected by periimplantic mucositis and bleeding and suppuration occurred during probing. With regard to the implant in area 25 the problem of complete loss of keratinised gingiva was also present. On the basis of the clinical and X-ray findings, and positive microbial test for periodontopathogens, periimplantitis was diagnosed around both implants. Initial periodontological therapy was carried out in four visits. The patient received instructions on the maintenance of oral hygiene and antiseptic therapy was included, rinsing with chlorhexidine and application of chlorhexidine gel directly into the pockets around the implants. As after this therapy the suppuration did not stop antibiotic therapy was included, with rinsing of the pockets with iodine. After successful control of the infective process, further therapy involved a periodontological surgical operation in order to correct the loss of keratinised gingiva around implant 25 and to obtain new attachment. After lifting the flap the surface of the implant was cleaned with sterile cotton wool soaked in chlorhexidine, and from the palate a connective transplant was taken and placed on the bone and the exposed thread of the implant. Gengigel (hyaluronic acid) was placed over the transplant for better healing of the wound. Five months after the operation microbial analysis was repeated. Periodontal pathogens were no longer present and clinical measurements showed reduced probing depth, absence of bleeding and suppuration, and the occurrence of zones of keratinised gingiva of 2 mm around implant 25.

   Title in English:	Complications and Failures in Dental Implantology
   Title in Croatian:	Komplikacije i neuspjesi u dentalnoj implantologiji
   Type of Article:	congress abstract
   MeSH:	DENTAL IMPLANTATION + adverse effects
   Abstract:	The increasing use of dental implants in everyday dental practice, and the systematic and documented years of monitoring patients with implanted and prosthetically supplied dental implants, leads to frequent confrontations of the therapist with different kinds of complications, and also failures. Although complications and failures are not the same, they are closely connected in dental implantology. However, not every complication necessarily leads to failure. Thus every therapist must be capable of envisaging possible complications, and eventually prevent them in time, or if they arise to know how to treat them. Complications in dental implantology can be divided into surgical and prosthetic complications. Surgical complications can be intraoperative, early postoperative and late postoperative complications, of which the most frequent are periimplant changes/lesions. Prosthetic complications are usually connected with unsatisfactory direction and localisation of the implant, instability and fracture of elements of the reinforcement, fracture of bridge constructions, aesthetic and functional complications and loss of the implant. In the broadest sense failure in dental implantology is clearly loss of the implant due to any reason, but also dissatisfaction of the patient with the functional or aesthetic effect also leads to failure. The paper presents our experience to date with complications, and also failures, during the use of different types of implantological systems.
