Re-surgery following implant fracture

This year, a 74-year-old male patient visited us with a mini dental implant that had been placed in the lower jaw.

After 4 years of prosthetic use, one of the implants came loose and torn as seen in the picture.


The patient had a bar overdenture in place over the edentulous ridge.


These days, mini implants and similar approaches are receiving attention in the trend of minimalism. In this context, one of the primary considerations should be to provide sufficient strength.

A week after the surgery.


2 weeks after.



4 months after
After the completion of the final prosthesis.


But, after 4 years, eventually.



 We need to start over from the beginning.
