The perfect destruction!
This lady had 14 implants placed 6 years ago (multiply the cost per implant and you’ll understand the expense involved). The x-ray shows where the bone is now and the white line where it should have been. The result: swelling, pain, antibiotics, and again swelling, pain, and antibiotics. Many of these implants need to be removed.

What went wrong?

1. It is obvious that the number of implants is excessive. There is very little bone between them, and any small inflammation will cause the implants to lose support and become exposed.
2. The surgical methodology was chaotic, with implants placed randomly and without any plan.
3. The prosthetic restoration is problematic for systematic cleaning.

Conclusion: It is sad to see such cases with such obvious causes from surgical and prosthetic treatment. In other words, medical responsibility, but also a wrong choice of treating doctor.
