My canine implant failed 2 times and this is the third time for me. Is there any chance for it to be successful ? (Photo)

Question

After two months it was checked by my doctor and implant was moveable.The gum around it is receding back and there are no other signs and symptoms of inflammation.I was taking vitamin D orally and levofloxin to prevent infection. The premolar adjacent to it is moveable too.If canine implant surgery failed for the 3rd time then what are options other than bridge bcz bridge will not be successful in my case.I am 23 years old and final year MBBS student.

I am sorry to hear about the difficulties you've had with your treatment.  Having enough bone in a  healthy implant site is essential to success, so removing the failed implant, placing a bone graft and allowing for proper healing will be important.  You should also be treated for the loose premolar as the reason it is loose can also affect the implant.  This may take some coordination between your restorative dentist and a periodontist or oral surgeon.  Good luck!

Thank you for your inquiry and time in submitting your photo.  We're sorry to hear about your implant failure.  It may be best for you to have your current implant removed and a bone graft placed at the same time.  It will take time for this area to heal and to ensure your bone graft truly integrates and adds to your upper jaw ridge.  Your recession is likely coming from your bone loss in that area.  In addition, implants and teeth should not be mobile, and if so you'll want to ensure the mobility is taken care of before any further restorations.  You'll likely need a lot of time for this area to fully heal and only then evaluate any type of restorations.  We hope this helps and wish you all the best!

if implants fails third time, u have to go for bridge. normally we take maximum 3 attempts for implants surgery and if fails than we consider it will fail  in subsequent attampts and go for another option and that is bridge.

Herbert Veisman, DDS · Answer

Teeth and implants should not move at all. This is not good news if your implant moves again. You will need a prosper bone graft and new implant placed properly and allowed to heal undisturbed for 3-4 months. All the best.

Based on your x ray, there is somethings to consider, your implant is short, and it should be a long implant, there, also the technique is very important, what you need to know , is that the primary stability, is the main thing, what you need to have is a good implant with an aggressive cord, like the NOBEL ACTIVE. and i suggest you should get at least a 4.x 13 or 15, needs to be the proper technique, and to wait at least 3 months, i am sure you will have great result.
