Although very rare, there may be some problems such as loose implants and infection. If there is an infection in the treated area, this infection affects bone cell transfer and may prevent the implant from holding, as it interferes with the connection between the implant and the bone. Consequently, the screws connecting the implant and the tooth may become loose. This creates the problem of moving the implant. If the screws are not well tightened, they may loosen over time or may break due to various reasons over time. However, all of these disadvantages are treatable, and they do not impose a serious problem.
