A case of osseointegrated implantation complicated by depressive status

Abstract

Osseointegrated implantation is a revolutionary therapeutic means to provide dental prosthesis that has been widely performed at dental clinics in recent years.
Most of osseointegrated implantation cases progress well, but some do not. This paper describes a case that was complicated by depressive status after osseointegrated implantation. It is suggested that the pre- and postoperative evaluation of bio-psychosocial factors is also needed in addition to obtaining satisfactory informed consent for osseointegrated implantation.
