From that standpoint, I am staying busy from repairing the "ailing" implants out there. However, there is definately a theme emerging from these issues.

There are so many great courses out there, and many GP's have many hours devoted to implant placement. I have been Director of a Residency program for several years,(I am a GP), I trained all the Oral Surgery residents in this program on how to place implants and the prosthetics involved. Of course, If a GP does decide to place implants, he or she should be well trained, especially if there are complications.
