Depending on the anatomy of each patients, there is a risk of temporary or permanent sensitivity loss on the chin and tongue if the implant is located near a nerve; a risk of sinusitis, a risk of damage on the roots of the teeth adjacent to the implant, and a risk of fracture of the jaw during the preparation of the site for the implant in the case of bone atrophy.
