Evaluation of survival rates and risk factors for reimplantation

Abstract

Introduction: Reimplantation of dental implants is a challenging surgery that needs to take into account a number of variables, such as the root cause of implant failure, the quality of the bone and soft tissue surrounding the implant, and the patient's general state of health. Case Description: This study reports three cases of reimplantation at the failed sites.Case 1 Forty-six-year-old female patient visited the clinic with discomfort on the previously installed implant at maxillary right molar region. The dental implants were removed and bone graft was performed afterwards. Installation of new implants was performed after 4 months and 2 weeks after the surgery.Case 2 Forty-seven-year-old male presented with discomfort with the dental implant placed at mandibular right second premolar area. The previously installed dental implant was removed. After sufficient healing period, the area was restored with a dental implant.Case 3 Fifty-five-year-old male was presented with discomfort during chewing. The implant was removed and after healing period, the area was restored with a dental implant. Discussion: The particular method for reinstalling dental implants may differ based on the demands of each patient and the specifics of their implant failure. The degree of bone loss, the type of implant system utilized, the duration between implant removal and reimplantation, and the presence of systemic disorders or implant failure risk factors are additional variables that can affect the success rate of reimplantation. Conclusion/Clinical Significance: In conclusion, individuals with failed implants can be restored with reimplantation of dental implants with high success rate from the right diagnosis, evaluation, and planning.
