Implant surgery is a procedure that requires the use of many instruments and implant-related materials in a small oral surgical field, and therefore various complications occur than conventional minor oral surgery. Surgical complications include those that are difficult to completely recover from, such as nerve damage or damage to the roots of adjacent teeth, and those that are recoverable, such as bleeding and emphysema. Surgical site infection (SSI) is recoverable in most cases if appropriate procedure was performed early. However, if the infection progresses to implant loss or jaw osteomyelitis, it can lead to a delay in treatment period and increased human resources and medical costs, so it is a complication that should be prevented as much as possible. In this article, we report on SSIs related to implant surgery and subsequent our management including previous literature.
