Current challenges in successful rehabilitation with oral implants

P>Very high survival/success rates have been reported for implant treatment, irrespective of the prosthetic type of reconstruction, be those full arcs, partial dentures, combined tooth implants or single crowns. However, survival/success is commonly reported in simple Cumulative Survival/Success Rate (CSR) tables only that may overestimate the true clinical outcome; furthermore, future challenges to clinical success may originate from too rapid launching of untested novelties or recommendations to apply too bold clinical procedures, potential problems that are summarised in the present paper.
