This patient was referred in our clinic for evaluation of an implant that was previously placed by another dentist.
Upon clinical and radiographic evaluation, our diagnosis was:
- Broken dental implant collar associated with occlusal parafunctional habits (bruxism)
Our treatment plan was as follow:
- Dental Implant removal & guided bone regeneration
- Placement of a new dental implant 4-6 months later
- Restoration + delivery of a biteguard for night use: 2-3 months later
Tips: A wider diameter dental implant would be preferable but the limited space mesio-distal and the triangular shape of the desired final restoration would not allow for the use of it. In order to overcome the above, the final prosthesis was kept out of contacts on lateral excursions and protrusion movements.
