Abstract:

Food impaction around implants is a common complication. To prevent horizontal food impaction, clinicians should not only strictly control the indications of implant restoration, but also formulate proper implant placement and restoration protocols. Besides, it is also of vital importance for clinicians to strengthen patients' awareness of oral health care, and provide professional mechanical debridement at regular intervals. Vertical food impaction often results from interproximal contact loss between implant-supported restorations and adjacent teeth. To prevent vertical food impaction, it is recommended to evaluate and adjust interproximal contacts and occlusion during the follow-up.

Key words: food impaction, posterior implant-supported prosthesis, interproximal contact loss
