Abstract:
The fracture of dental implants is a rare occurrence in clinical settings. Possible causes of implant fracture include design or production flaws, overloaded occlusion force, implant location, metal fatigue, and bone resorption around the implant. This study reports on the successful removal and reimplantation of fractured implants.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
