Displacement of the Dental Implant into the Medullary Space in the Posterior Mandible: Cases Report and treatment.

Abstract

Oral implants are a remarkable method for oral rehabilitation. Lately, dental implants are the first choice for rehabilitation when a tooth is lost. Despite the high success rate of dental implants, there are some cases where anatomy, bone loss or low bone density
can compromise the stability of implants. Although many books and articles state that the posterior region of the mandible is a D2 area, sometimes we can face low bone density, compromising the stability of the implant and sometimes even causing more serious complications. The aim of this article is to report three cases where a dental implant dislodged into the medullary space in the posterior mandible. This article will also elucidate how the cases were resolved.
