Implants Too Close: How to Proceed?
Last Updated: May 10, 2008
Dr. C. asks:
I placed 6 implants BioImplant (Henry Schein), and two of them are too close, 1mm more or less of distance. My question is what should I do at this point? I have informed the patient that there is a high likelihood of complications. Should I remove one of the implants know and allow the other to osseointegrate? I am concerned that I could end up with both implants failing. I am prepared to sacrifice one implant now if the other will osseointegrate. I would appreciate some opinions on how I should proceed at this time. Thanks.
