How to deal with loose implants? What to do if the dental implant is loose?

In the first case, the implant is not loosened.

Flap curettage can be performed to remove inflammatory tissue and other peri-implant soft tissues, and to insert blood-mixed hydroxyapatite or other bone substitutes and close sutures.

It should be noted that the diagnosis of incomplete osseointegration is not only based on the presence of a translucent area around the implant on x-rays, but also by clinical examination of the implant's mobility. It is important not to make a judgment based on the translucent area around the X-ray implant alone, especially in the first year after surgery, because the bone reconstruction has not yet been finalized, it is possible to see a thin layer of translucent area around the implant on the X-ray, so do not judge the removal lightly.

In the second case, the implant is significantly loose.

If the implant is so loose that it is completely unable to perform its supporting function, the implant will be removed if it is clearly determined that there is no bone tissue support around the implant. After carefully and thoroughly curetting all connective tissue groups in the implant socket without damaging the tissue, carefully inspect and confirm that there is no bone tissue support around the implant and no fibrous connective tissue remains, remove the implant, thoroughly rinse the implant site to fill it with blood clots, and fill it with bone meal, hydroxyapatite, etc. if necessary. The gingival tissue of the implant neck is excised, the mucoperiosteal flap is relaxed, and the suture is tightly sutured without tension to completely cover the implant area.

1) For those who have obvious loosening of the implant and are completely unable to exercise its support function, the implant should be removed on the premise that it is clear that there is a lack of bone tissue support around the implant. Do not damage the tissue when removing, all connective tissue in the implant socket must be carefully and thoroughly scraped, carefully check to confirm that there is no fibrous connective tissue remaining, thoroughly rinse the implant site to make it full of blood clots, if necessary, fill with bone meal, hydroxyapatite, etc. The gingival tissue of the implant neck is excised, the mucoperiosteal flap is relaxed, and the suture is tightly sutured without tension so that it completely covers the implant area.

After the implant has been removed, if there are enough other implants left to support the denture, it is not necessary to re-implant it, otherwise it can be re-implanted in the original implant site after one year, when the new bone has been formed.

2) For those who have resorption of the bone around the implant but the implant is not obvious to loosen, the flap curettage can be performed to remove the inflammatory tissue and other soft tissues around the implant, add hydroxyapatite mixed with blood, or other bone substitutes, and then close tightly. It should be noted that the diagnosis of incomplete osseointegration is not only based on the presence of a translucent area around the implant on x-rays, but also by clinical examination of the implant's mobility. It is important not to make a judgment based on the translucent area around the X-ray implant alone, especially in the first year after surgery, because the bone reconstruction has not yet been finalized, it is possible to see a thin layer of translucent area around the implant on the X-ray, so do not judge the removal lightly. Support.

Hello, if the implant of the dental implant is loose, there is no good way, and the loosening of the implant will generally be accompanied by the absorption of alveolar bone, so if you re-implant, you need to take a film to see the condition of your alveolar bone, mainly to see the height and density of the alveolar bone, so as to comprehensively judge whether it can be replanted. It is recommended that you find a doctor to give you a check-up, specifically analyze the cause of the implant loosening, if you can find the cause and deal with it in time, so that you can come in and prolong the service life of the dental implant, and when it is completely loose and can not chew, then you can only consider removing it. Then reconsider the repair according to the situation.

Dental implants covered by attachments, strictly a technical group, are most commonly sleeved crown implants. It uses the splint principle to re-fix 4-6 loose teeth without extraction. The location of the missing tooth is restored by implantation, which is especially suitable for the elderly with more loose tooth stubs.

How long has it been planted? Is the implant loosening noticeable?

Loose implants do not have to be removed: for those who have obvious loosening of the implant and are completely unable to perform its supporting function, the implant should be removed on the premise that it is clear that there is a lack of bone tissue support around the implant; If the implant is not loose and the periimplant bone is resorbent, a flap scraping may be performed to remove the inflammatory tissue and other peri-implant soft tissues, insert bone meal or other bone substitutes, and close the stitches.

How to deal with it depends on the actual situation, and it is recommended to go to the hospital for follow-up as soon as possible.
