BACKGROUND Dental implant placement in the posterior maxilla may be complicated by implant migration into the maxillary sinus. PURPOSE To report the clinical and radiological characteristics of a patient who experienced dental implant displacement into the maxillary sinus following sinus floor elevation, and to compare our findings with those of other published reports of the displacement of ...

We describe a simple, retroperitoneal approach for the removal of acetabular components that have migrated into the pelvis. The dense fibrous tissue layer which surrounds the implant protects the iliac vessels during removal of the cup by this method.

Improvements in implant designs have helped advance successful immediate anterior implant placement into fresh extraction sockets. Clinical techniques described in this case enable practitioners to achieve predictable esthetic success using a method that limits the amount of buccal contour change of the extraction site ridge and potentially enhances the thickness of the peri-implant soft tissue...

a 48 year old patient was candidate for anterior mandibular reconstruction by 2 fixtures of branemark implant. residual infection lead to removal of one of the implants from the extracted tooth socket. afterwards, 2 fixtures of bonefit was inserted adjacent to previously placed branemark implants and final prosthesis were loaded in a joint cemented and screwed design.

Introduction Peri-implantitis leads to gradual peri-implant bone loss. Patients with implant supported restorations should be monitored in order to avoid extreme cases of peri-implantitis, followed by implant removal. The introduction of dental implants as a procedure to replace natural teeth lost due to dental caries, trauma or periodontal disease has been a major advance in the management of ...
