Endosseous implant failure influenced by crown cementation: a clinical case report

Int J Oral Maxillofac Implants. 2008 Sep-Oct;23(5):943-6.

Abstract

Implant dentistry has developed predictable treatment outcomes. Nevertheless, there are multiple reasons for implant failure. This case report documents a previously unreported type of implant failure that occurred 1 month after crown cementation. The implant failure is believed to be associated with retained excess subgingival cement.
