The advantage of Two Stage Surgery Dental Implant Procedure is that the risk of infection during healing is low and combination with guided bone regeneration for esthetic prosthesis production is possible.

However, recent developments in implant design and surface treatment markedly reduced failure due to infection. Instead, because it is difficult to detect peri-implant inflammation early, implant failure detected during the 2nd operation leads larger bone defects which could prevent reimplantation.

Two stage surgery is limited to cases in which guided a tissue regeneration technique is needed. Therefore, staged surgery after cover screw connection is performed in case soft tissue enhancement or attached gingival is needed in the anterior tooth part that requires aesthetics or if bone grafts and membranes are used in placing the implant due to bone defects of more than 1.5mm.
