Trauma to anterior implants.
The replacement of anterior teeth with an implant-supported restoration is recognized as an efficient and successful treatment. One of the rare complications that can occur with dental implants is the fracture of either the implant or the superstructure because of biomechanical overload or occlusal force. In contrast to the permanent dentition, there is limited information about how osseointegrated implants or the periimplantary bone behave after dental trauma. This article presents a case of trauma to anterior implants and illustrates the effects to the titanium screw and the surrounding tissue.
