What is the key clinically controllable preventive measure that may help reduce the incidence of biological complications? Implant complications are common, ineffective care, and delay in diagnosis can lead to expensive time-consuming surgical and nonsurgical interventions. Careful selection and placement of implant allow development of adequate emergence design of the implant suprastructure. This helps achieve effective plaque control, adequate maintenance at hygiene visits, accurate follow-up assessments of the peri-implant tissues addressing the key underlying factor impacting biological complications. This clinically controllable preventative measure may be considered a vital strategy in averting peri-implant disease. Surge in biological complications has led to increased patient dissatisfaction in terms of time, cost, esthetics, and maintenance. One of the factors identified in causing biological complications is the iatrogenic prosthesis-related factor. Minimizing the impact of this factor is crucial to the overall implant success. Selection and placement of implant following meticulous planning, using careful surgical protocols, allow development of adequate suprastructure design that improves overall patient outcomes by reducing biological complications. Further research is essential to comprehensively assess the impact of these strategies in thwarting development of biological complications.
