Abstract
Despite the widespread use of titanium implants in orthopedic and dental surgeries, concerns have recently emerged regarding potential deformations and fractures after osseointegration. In a recent clinical case, a titanium implant fractured after successful osseointegration. This fracture occurred despite the absence of any significant trauma or excessive external force applied to the area. The fracture was attributed to a combination of factors, including abutment design flaws, material fatigue, and biomechanical stress imposed on the implant during functional loading. This raises concerns about the long-term durability and reliability of titanium implants, particularly in high-stress areas such as the posterior region or weight-bearing bones. An image was made with scanning electron microscopy showing the fracture region near the prosthetic platform and highlighting the knowledge that despite their ductility, titanium implants can fracture.
