Abstract

The distinction between ailing and failing implants is clinically important. Changes in the peri-implant soft or hard tissues will indicate whether the implant is ailing, failing, or has failed. This article discusses these clinical situations and provides an overview and description of peri-implant diseases and their treatment alternatives.
