Abstract
Implantoprosthetic rehabilitation has become the main method to reestablish totally or partially edentulous patients, with a high success rate. However, some complications can cause implant loss. The main one is periimplantitis, with bone loss around the osseointegrated implant. However, implant fractures or incorrect implant position may compromise implant rehabilitation and require implant removal. Several techniques can be used for implant explantation, and the dental surgeon should opt for the easiest and most conservative technique, ensuring the greatest preservation of remaining bone tissue and aiming at the future reinstallation of another osseointegrated implant. Sometimes, associated Guided Bone Regeneration techniques may be necessary in conjunction with future implant installation, using various procedures or biomaterials. The purpose of this article is to present the case of a patient who underwent explantation of a fractured implant. A polypropylene membrane (BoneHealTM) was used and an implant was reinstalled 8 months after explantation.
