Abstract

Osseointegrated implants have assisted the craniofacial and maxillofacial patient tremendously. Whether it be for a facial prosthetic reconstruction or an intraoral prosthetic reconstruction, the advent of endosteal implants has enhanced the maxillofacial prosthodontist’s ability to reconstruct tissues that were lost to either cancer, trauma, or an acquired congenital defect. These restorations can improve the quality of lives of patients and give patients the ability to speak, masticate, and swallow (Beumer et al. 2010). They allow the ability to restore the patients’ appearance so that they feel comfortable going out in society. However, the long-term stability of craniofacial or maxillofacial implants has been less favorable than that of the conventional dental implant. This chapter discusses the specific features of craniofacial and maxillofacial implants to elucidate the factors relevant to the success and long-term stability of implant osseointegration.
