In this case, an implant was in place for a number of years until #31 was extracted. Immediately after the extraction, the patient reported pain when chewing on the implant. This patient avoided chewing on this tooth until it became increasingly painful. It is assumed that when #31 was removed the dentist elevated against #30 and integration failed.

The implant was removed and the site was grafted with Socket Graft™. However, after two months the site was opened to replace the implant and granulation tissue was found in the socket.

The largest implant drill failed to prepare to reach the walls of the bone.

The implant failed to obtain primary stability and was unable to engage bone. The osteotomy was filled with BioDensification™ and the implant was placed into the grafted socket.

Post Op, 11 weeks after implant placement. Notice the trabecular bone growth throughout when compared to the previous radiograph. This implant is now integrated in healthy, normal, and vital bone.
