Abstract

The use of immediate implants has increases in recent years for the many advantages of treatment procedure. However, the immediate placement of implant may involve complications leading to implant failure. In spite of the most meticulous attempts for sterility and precautionary surgical techniques, patients have developed a variety. of complications with immediate implantation.
Many clinical reports have described the case of pen -implant infections with involvement of the coronal portion of the implants. However another type of infection, characterized by the focal infection at the hole and apex of an implant, as we a has been described.
The aim of the present case report is an evaluation of the clinical and ultrastructural aspects of interfacial tissues from a retrieved immediate implant in which there had been the development of an abcess at the apical tissues of a titanium implant from 60 years old female patient.
The pathological tissues of the immediate single implant was observed by transmission electron microscope without decalcification procedure.
The results were as follows.
Bacterial infection was the cause of implant failure:
