This report summarizes 3984 reported events associated with serious injury involving endosseus implants, root-forn with the product classification code, dze for this reporting quarter, october 1st, 2017 to december 31st, 2017.Listing of all device and patient problems for this reporting quarter.Device problems: failure to osseointegrate; loss of osseointegration; fracture; positioning issue (failure to achieve primary stability); user error causing device-device incompatibility; no information.Patient problems: fracture failure of implant infection inflammation pain sinus perforation bone loss dehiscence fistula nerve stimulation no information nature of the events: implant failure can be divided into two categories.Early failure (failure to osseointegrate or failure to achieve primary stability) describes the situation when an implant is placed but fails to integrate.Late or long-term failure (loss of integration) is the situation that an implant has integrated solidly, but after so passage of time, usually many months or years, bone loss happens around the implant.In these cases, the dental implant needs to be removed from the patient -- a process that is considered to be a surgical intervention to remove the implant.Dental implant fracture can happen during placement of an implant or over a period of time after placement of the implant.Most likely surgical intervention is necessitated to remove a fractured implant and placement of a new implant to replace the fractured implant.
