Bone graft after failed implant? (photos)

Question

I had 2 TRI implants placed 14th April 2015, both got rejected and are exposed, mobile, needing to be removed. However one surgeon is keen to do bone grafting with BioOs and membrane, whereas the principal surgeon who did the implants initially is saying just to leave it and let it heal, and not do bone grafting. I'm really confused who is right and who's not. Please advise and help.

Nick M. Mobilia, DDS · Answer

From the radiographs presented, the implant is much too narrow and is not deep enough to be fully embedded in solid bone.  My recommendation is to get a second opinion, have a graft with membrane placed until the tissues (hard and soft) heal properly, then have a longer implant with a wider diameter properly placed.  I doubt if the situation that you presented were ever to heal, more than likely it would be a prosthetic nightmare for the restoring dentist and another nightmare for you to maintain it and it would be guaranteed to fail.Good luck and keep us informed.

Based on your description and the xrays that are attached, I would definitely recommend thoroughly cleaning out the failed implant sites and placing a bone graft with membrane. The reason for doing this is to prepare  the sites for new implants to be placed in the future. I hope you found this information to be helpful,Dr Champagne

yr implans are out of bone , so remove implans and place bone graft to maintain bone height for future procedures. do not play with it. it is fail implants.

Victor Sanz, DDS · Answer

Your implants are more than half way out of the bone. I would recommend removing and graft with membranes.

I wild opt for bone grafts.  Both implants were poorly placed so go find a periodontist to place new ones.
