Dental implants continue to be highly effective when performed by professional surgeon’s, therefore you get a success rate of 99.4%. Typically speaking every experienced/professional oral surgeon will agree on how complex this field of work is, in addition how outcomes could be tremendous. However, oral surgeons will also agree on how sometimes outcomes could be extraordinarily defective. In the hands of an inexperienced surgeon failure is highly likely. The question is, if this field is so complex then why are inexperienced surgeons performing them and risking a patient's well-being?

Although, the most dreadful injuries are triggered by implant drills that drill too close or into the IAN. Damage and injury to the IAN are considered a massive implant failure and is life threating. Re-emphasizing, therefore, experience is very important during implant surgeries, in which there are many factors to take into consideration while operating to ensure safety and implant success. Furthermore, to ensure a successful implant, proper angulation should be determined (Misch, 2008). Moreover, this is what students continuously practice and train for during their residency so they can gain experience and guarantee success. Wrong angulation of an implant can result in a mandible fracture, a case involving a broken jaw, which is extremely painful for the patient and will require
