Summary
This case report details three mandibular cysts and rare complications from dental implants, including lingual nerve lesions and implant dismounting. Histopathology revealed bone integration with fibrous bands.
Area of Science:
- Oral pathology
- Dental implantology
- Surgical complications
Background:
- Dental implants can lead to rare complications, including nerve damage and implant instability.
- Cystic lesions in the mandibular region require careful diagnosis and management.
Observation:
- A unique case involving three distinct cysts (radiculo-dental, possible epidermoid, and epidermoid) in the mandibular region.
- The patient experienced lingual nerve lesions and dismounting of a stable dental implant, both uncommon occurrences.
Findings:
- Histopathological analysis confirmed significant bone integration of the implant.
- Interposed fibrous bands were present in specific sectors between the implant and bone.
Implications:
- Highlights the importance of considering diverse cystic pathologies in the mandible.
- Underscores the potential for severe, albeit rare, complications associated with dental implant procedures.
- Emphasizes the need for thorough histopathological evaluation in complex implant cases.
