Brief 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.

Conditions

Dental Implant Failed; Osteointegration; Dental Crowns

Keywords

Root remnant; Dental implant failed; osteointegration; Dentine-implant interface

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Dental Implant Osteointegrated With The Residual Root

  The prognosis of the osseointegration status of the retained root remnant and dental implant over an 11-year follow-up period. Whether osseointegration has occurred will be verified based on follow-up radiographic images and periodically recorded examination data. Evaluation criteria include implant stability, compatibility with surrounding bone and soft tissues, and potential inflammatory reactions around the root remnant. These measures are intended to understand the long-term integration of the implant and root remnant.

  From enrollment to the end of treatment at 11 years
