Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. Screw fracture

The most common TECHNICAL (mechanical) complication during implant placement is SCREW FRACTURE. Abutment/prosthetic screw fractures are the most frequently reported technical complications in implant dentistry. Screw bending can occur but is less common. Implant mobility is a biological failure. Peri-implantitis is a biological/inflammatory complication, not a technical one. A is correct.
