Extract a broken implant: recommendations?
Last Updated: Apr 02, 2014
I have a patient with a broken implant in #19 area [mandibular left first molar; 36]. I have not had much experience extracting out fractured implant fixtures. What do you recommend that I use to remove the remaining implant fragment without destroying too much of the surrounding bone? I would like to remove the implant fragment and either graft or install a new implant.
