On today’s episode, Dr. Mark Costes is joined by Dr. Tom Fow and Dr. Dan Briskie to discuss dental implant complications and how to avoid them. They cover case selection, patient health, surgical technique, prosthetic planning, primary stability, drilling mistakes, cover screw risks, pterygoid implants, and reducing cantilevers in full arch cases.
The conversation highlights how better planning, communication, and understanding of biology and biomechanics can help clinicians reduce failures and create more predictable implant outcomes.
