Analysis of early dental implant failure and retreatment of 6 cases / 实用口腔医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To analyse the causes of early implantation failure and the therapeutic measures with re-implantation after the failures.Methods:6 cases of implantation failure including early infections,loosening and non-osteointegration were reviewed and trea-ted by re-implantation therapy,and the causes of failure were discussed and the effects of re-treatment were evaluated.Results:2 cases were found to be with infection of adjacent teeth after implantation and were treated by removal of the implant,socket curettage,root ca-nal therapy(RCT)and antibiotics followed by reimplantation.Implant loosening and non-osteointegration were observed in 4 cases, which were treated by the similar methods for the implant socket.Reimplantation was successful in all 6 cases followed-up for 1 -3 years.Conclusion:Preventive measure for implantation failure should include indication selection,control of infections in adjacent teeth and periodontosis,use of GBR technic and so on.Re-implantation following proper treatment of adjacent teeth and the socket of implant is effective for the treatment of implantation failure.
