Implants demand special care and specific hygiene habits, but if you don't have a prosthesis with the correct format it can become a problem.
In this case, the patient arrived at the office reporting that the fixed prosthesis on implants she had 3 years ago was moving. When performing the clinical examination, I found that the patient was right and that the prosthesis had movement.
We performed a tomography of the region and through the images, I could see the loss of implants due to the enormous loss of bone tissue in the area.
During anamnesis, I asked him how many times he had returned to the dentist to remove the prosthesis and perform the cleaning and the patient told me that she had never cleaned the prosthesis.
After instructing the patient about all care with the prosthesis and all post-operative care, I demonstrated the correct position of the implants in the patient's current situation so that she could understand the difference between the two situations.
I performed the explantation of the implants and bone grafting to maintain bone volume.
