Abstract
Trephine explantation is an effective method to retrievean osseointegrated implant, but the bone destruction is obvious. In recent years, there are more and more tool kits on the market focusing on removing failed implants (e.g. Noble Implant Retrieval Tool; BTI Implant Extraction System) without significant bone destruction. However, in the case of solid morse taperabutment fracture(e.g. ANKYLOS standard abutment), the kit cannot engage the implant inner surface to reverse the implant from the bony socket. In this situation, the method presented by Li C.H.&Chou C.T. is a good way to deal with the problem.Furthermore, it is preferable to trephine because it will preserve the bony socket and allow for immediate reimplantation.
