Implant exfoliation within 10 days: A case report

Abstract

Implant failure can be because of many reasons, it is difficult to determine the exact cause of the implant failure, especially when there are many factors contributing.This case report reviews the case in which implant failure occurred. A female patient of 34 years came with the complaint of edentulous space in the region of 11. An implant was placed which got exfoliated on 10th day.In this case Norris Implant 3.75 /8 was placed in the region of 11. 6 months back extraction was done with respect to 11 but after 6 months the bone formation was not adequate. The same region was having buccal cortical plate defect. An implant planning was done.During implant placement we came to know that buccal cortical plate defect was large, as there was insufficient bone so threads of implant were exposed so Osseo graft (periocol) and collagen membrane was placed for additional bone support.This case highlights the unusual implant failure that occurred because of the inappropriate analyzing of the bone defect and inaccurate planning of the implant.
