Description

Reported dental implant success rates are high resulting in an ever increasing number of patients being treated with implants. Nevertheless implant failures due to peri-implantitis & bone loss do occur. Over time the percentage of dental implants that fail increases because of biological and technical issues. Inevitably clinicians will have to dedicate more time to dealing with ailing and failing dental implants.

The decision to treat or remove (explant) a failing implant is a judgement that needs to be made by the treating clinician and needs to be based both on clinical and radiographic evaluation. The most predictable management of advanced failed implant cases appears to be implant removal & replacement. The aim of this lecture is to describe an atraumatic treatment modality with emphasis on “bone preservation “& “one abutment /one time “in dealing with these failed cases by implant removal & replacement .

Objectives

• Identify failed implants requiring removal & replacement.
• Identify an atraumatic method of removing failed implants.
• Become familiar with the concept of immediate replacement of failed implants in the same or adjacent site
• Become familiar with the protocol of immediate loading replaced implants.
• Identify cases where immediate replacement is not possible and a delayed protocol is indicated.
