I. %T Risk analysis and implants %D 2008 %@ 1350-4533 %U https://hdl.handle.net/11556/4336 %X According to the Medical Devices Directive, both the preparation for clinical trials and marketing of implants require that a risk analysis is performed. This paper presents a risk analysis for a dental implant in the framework of the risk management process carried out for the preparation of a multi-centre clinical trial, where likely hazards, failure modes and their severities, probabilities and detectabilities are assessed, together with a review of the related scientific literature. The clinical study aimed to evaluate a new ion implantation-based implant surface designed for the promotion of more extensive and faster osseointegration. %~
