Full Mouth Rehabilitation Risks & ComplicationsWhat to Know
- All surgical procedures carry risks.
Understanding the specific risks of full mouth rehabilitation helps you make an informed decision and choose a provider who minimises those risks through technology, expertise, and protocol adherence.
What Are the Main Risks of Full Mouth Rehabilitation?
The main risks of full mouth rehabilitation are implant failure, infection, nerve damage, sinus perforation, prosthetic fracture, screw loosening, and peri-implantitis, each with a documented incidence range and a specific protocol Stunning Dentistry uses to reduce it. All surgical procedures carry risk, and understanding the specific risks helps you choose a provider that manages them through technology, expertise, and protocol adherence.
| Risk | Incidence | How We Minimise It |
|---|---|---|
| Implant failure | 2-5% per implant | 3D CBCT planning, guided surgery, premium implant systems (Straumann, Nobel) |
| Infection | 1-3% | hospital-grade sterilization sterilisation, prophylactic antibiotics, laminar flow surgical suites |
| Nerve damage (lower jaw) | <1% | CBCT-guided placement with 2mm safety margin from inferior alveolar nerve |
| Sinus perforation (upper jaw) | 1-5% | CBCT planning, crestal sinus lift technique, zygomatic alternatives |
| Prosthetic fracture | 2-5% at 5 years | Monolithic zirconia (900-1,200 MPa flexural strength) |
| Screw loosening | 5-10% at 5 years | Calibrated torque, regular maintenance protocol |
| Peri-implantitis | 5-15% at 10 years | Patient oral hygiene education, scheduled maintenance visits |
