All screwed up: Strategic considerations for failing implants

From $39

Failing implants can result in major esthetic and functional changes. These implants, however, should not be immediately condemned to removal. An understanding of biology, risk assessment, and treatment planning will help in the decision-making process when assessing diseased implants. Different maintenance strategies, regenerative materials, and surgical techniques have increased implant survival rates at costs significantly less than dental implant replacement. It is worth revisiting ways to manage peri-implantitis and peri-implant complications to ensure an implant is appropriately maintained, treated, or removed.
