Dental implants are the closest analogue to healthy, natural teeth. They give one the privilege to confidently perform the daily activities and enjoy them, relish the food, laugh and smile with the loved ones without worrying about teeth.(1) Implant placement is a very technique sensitive procedure requiring thorough knowledge as well as an adept implantologist. Despite reliably high success rates, failure of implants can occur neccessitating their immediate removal. Failure can be attributed to numerous causes-failure to osseointegrate being the more common one. The aim of this review is to highlight the major etiology for failure of implants. ER -
