The surface of the implant is infected and contaminated by bacteria that will continue to destroy the bone unless it is removed. There is treatment available for an ailing implant. The treatment consists of removal of the bacterial contamination and detoxification of the implant surface. The implant is exposed and the bacterial film and toxins on the implant surface and the infected soft tissues around the implant are removed. The surface is decontaminated by chemical and mechanical means, or in the case of Laser Treatment, an all tissue laser such as the Waterlase is used to clean and disinfect the implant surface . The area is covered with a dressing for about a week and normal gentle cleaning resumes after that. Depending on the size and shape of the bone defect, the dentist may place a bone graft. It is normal for the tissues to shrink after the surgery, so part of the abutment (post) or even the implant may be visible after healing. In cases where access is simple, one surgical treatment may be all that is necessary but in more difficult cases more than one treatment may be necessary to get the infection under control. It is very important to develop a good daily oral hygiene routine to keep the gums around your teeth and implants healthy, and to supplement that with regular checkup and maintenance appointments in the dentist's office. Hope this helps, and good luck!!! Carlos Boudet, DDS, DICOI <a href="http://www.boudetdds.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.boudetdds.com</a> Hi K J,

There are two options that are available to you to help you correct this situation. The first option, and the one I prefer, is to use orthodontics to extrude the tooth. This stimulates the bone and gums to grow and will make the teeth the same size again. The process is called forced eruption and it is an excellent minimally invasive procedure to improve your situation. At the end of the forced eruption you can replace the tooth with an implant. This also minimizes the amount of grafting that you may need. The other option is called a block graft and it requires a larger surgery to graft the deficient area before the implant is placed. Forced eruption is definitely the preferred procedure generally. Hope this helps, and good luck!!! Carlos Boudet, DDS, DICOI http://www.boudetdds.com Dear G G:

It has a failed root canal and the root is cracked. Also it looks a lot longer than the other. I was told I need an implant, but I am afraid that after I get the implant, the tooth will look longer still. What can I do? Thanks in advance for your help.

When you put a bone graft in an area where you will be placing an implant, you want the graft material to be totally replaced by your own bone. Bio-Oss is a material that resorbs very little, so after 4 to 6 months when the area should be ready for the implant, it is still present in the healed site. Bio-Oss is a graft material that has been used for many years and many doctors like it because it keeps the volume of the grafted area better than other materials that resorb quickly. Since the slightest bone loss after an extraction of a front tooth can result in changes that may cause gum recession and affect the appearance of your teeth, the dentist probably felt safer using this material. You should be able to place an implant in the area since there should be enough bone around the graft particles. Thanks for sharing your question with us and Good luck!
