Removal Of Fractured Dental Implants: A Review Literature

Abstract

Concept Implants have been around for a very long time since the age of ancient civilizations. Even in modern times many physicians were unsuccessful in creating a functional and biocompatible implant system. It was Branemark in the 1960s who 1^st developed and tested on humans the proper modern implant systems which were both functional and biocompatible, with a very low rate of failure. Yet implants are not without its own complications. Fracture of implants is a very common complication. Retrieval of fractured and retained implant body in the bone is in itself a very technique specific and complicated procedure. We shall delve deeper into the topic of their retrieval in this review literature.
