Causes of implant crown loss

Implant tooth is a common method of dental restoration. It can restore the function and beauty of teeth by implanting artificial root in alveolar bone and installing crown on it. However, implant crowns sometimes fall off, which may be caused by a variety of factors.

Material and process problems

The material and manufacturing process of implant crowns are crucial to their stability. If the materials used are of poor quality or the manufacturing process is rough, the connection between the crown and the implant may not be firm enough, which may easily lead to the fall off of the crown. In addition, if the design of the crown is not reasonable, it may also affect its adaptability to the implant, thus increasing the risk of falling off.

Inappropriate oral hygiene maintenance

Good oral hygiene is the key to maintain the stability of implant teeth. If patients fail to maintain good oral hygiene habits after dental implantation, bacteria in the mouth may cause peri implant inflammation, affect the stability of the implant, and then may lead to crown loss.

Uneven distribution of biting force

The uneven distribution of occlusal force is also a common cause of implant crown loss. If the patient habitually uses one side of the teeth or has the habit of grinding teeth when chewing, it may cause the implant teeth to bear too much pressure, and in the long run may cause the crown to loosen or even fall off.

Improper postoperative care

Nursing care after implant surgery is equally important. If the patient fails to follow the doctor's advice after surgery, such as early vigorous exercise or eating hard food, it may affect the healing of the implant and increase the risk of crown loss.

summary

The loss of implant crown is a complex problem, which may involve many aspects such as materials, technology, oral hygiene, distribution of occlusal force and postoperative care. In order to avoid this situation, patients should choose a regular medical institution for dental implant surgery, and strictly follow the doctor's advice after the surgery to maintain good oral hygiene habits. At the same time, regular reexamination and maintenance are also important measures to ensure long-term stability of implant teeth.
