Abstract

Explantation of failed dental implants using a piezoelectric device may provide a viable treatment modality, especially for implants in precarious locations. The traditional mechanical procedures compared to piezosurgical technique for maxillary implant removal are described. Furthermore, the remaining bone on dental implants was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in order to semi-quantitatively evaluate the amount and structure. The piezoelectric device appears to be a valuable minimally invasive alternative if removal of dental implants is required.
