Dental Implant Osteointegrated With The Residual Root

Sponsor: Ege University

Summary

This case report presents the long-term prognosis of an implant resulting in late failure with an osteointegrated root remnant on the fixture 11 years after implant placement. A 68-year-old female patient experienced issues with a maxillary right 4-unit implant-supported bridge placed 11 years ago. During removal, an osteointegrated root remnant was discovered on the middle supporting implant, which had been inadvertently placed over it. Clinicians should be cautious with retained root remnants, as they may impact osteointegration. However, both the implant and root fragment were osteointegrated without adverse effects.
