Abstract

Dental implant therapy is generally successful. However, when such therapy fails, considerations for implant replacement must be carefully considered. The survivability of implants placed into previously implanted sites must be considered. Appraisal of early implant loss versus late implant loss is important in presurgical planning for implant replacement. This review highlights the factors that can impact the success of implant reimplantation.
