What is the risk of complications after surgical procedures?

Preprosthetic surgery is a procedure aimed at preparing the oral cavity for prosthetic rehabilitation and carries risks of complications such as infection, bleeding, and delayed healing. Postoperative infection rates range from 1.9% to 1.3% for superficial surgical site infections and 0.6% to 0.4% for deep infections. While specific data on preprosthetic surgery are limited, these rates reflect the general risk of complications. It is important to consult a specialist for more information about the risks and benefits.
