Unrestored Xive implant fixture: thoughts?
Last Updated: Oct 08, 2014
This is a patient from overseas who has had an implant (Xive – 5.5mm diameter) in #14 site [maxillary left first molar; 26] 2 years ago. This is the radiograph provided by the patient, and she wants the prosthetic replacement to be done as she has been transferred to another dentist whom she is not very comfortable going to. So I have inherited this case. I am not sure on the restorability of the implant. How do you think I should proceed?
