Area of Science:

Oral surgery
Dental implantology
Digital dentistry

Background:

Retained root tips are a common complication before dental implant placement.
Various techniques exist for root tip removal, with varying degrees of invasiveness.
Meticulous treatment planning is crucial for minimizing complications and preserving bone structure.

Observation:

A 63-year-old female patient required dental implant placement at site #5.
Cone beam computed tomography revealed a retained root tip obstructing implant placement.
Digital planning was employed to guide atraumatic root tip extraction and simultaneous implant placement.

Findings:

The digital planning technique facilitated precise removal of the retained root tip.
Simultaneous implant placement achieved excellent primary stability.
Follow-up assessments demonstrated successful bone preservation and implant osseointegration.

Implications:

Digital planning and 3D surgical guides offer a precise and minimally invasive method for managing retained root tips during implant surgery.
This technique preserves bone architecture, crucial for long-term implant success.
Integrating cone beam computed tomography and intraoral digital scans enhances accuracy in root localization and implant positioning.
