Abstract: Implantsupported fixed complete dental prostheses (IFCDPs) have a history of more than 40 years, and the longterm success rate of implant is more than 90%, but it is reported that the failure rate of the restoration is usually higher than that of the implant for IFDP in edentulous patients. Severe mechanical and biological complications after the restoration are relevant to prosthesis success rate. Hence, the understanding of the incidence and type of complications in each treatment modality is necessary for the clinicians in order to present evidencebased information to the patient about treatment options and their respective benefits and risks. This paper will discuss the complications of IFCDP in combination with clinical experience and literature review.

Key words: complications, edentulism, implantsupported fixed complete dental prosthesis
