Reimplantation Of Early Failed Dental Implant – Case Report.

ABSTRACT

Abstracts Background: Implant dentistry provides a more functional and attractive alternative to removable prosthesis. Despite the high success rate shown by longitudinal studies, failures do occur, even in patients who present appropriate clinical conditions. In most of the clinical situations implant replacement is the only alternative treatment in patients with failed implants. Here is a case report which describes the possible etiology, diagnosis and management of early failed dental implants. Surgical management includes the reimplantation of failed implants after debridement of osteotomy site and decontamination of implant surface. Early diagnosis of implant failure, proper clinical evaluation and long term follow up are of paramount importance for such reimplantation of failed dental implants.
