**Figure 26.** A periapical radiograph showing three implants next to each other with improper relation pertinent to fu‐ ture rehabilitation and as a relation to the neighboring tooth structure. The result showed leaving the implant in the middle in a sleeping status with questionable outcomes, indicating an unnecessary surgical intervention and cost [19].

As the dental implantology science is growing very fast, the demand to perfectionism is becoming more challenging. The obstacles of grafting techniques, faster osseointegration, completing cases faster than what used to be, and perfectionism in cosmetic results all play partial role in the current era of implant therapy. Obstacles are still configured in the form of questionable training, nonevidence-based applications, and limitless case requirement demands. Hence, there is the need to consider reviewing the actual capabilities of training programs, stabilizing the basics among trainees, probing the application of new tactics as per the evidence-based recommendations, potentiating research projects in the field of oral maxillofacial surgery, rehabilitation, and dental implantology. Last but not the least, advocat‐ ing the transparency of more outcome-related studies in different programs and practices is necessary in order to identify what more can be carried out to improve the dental implantology
