Implant in the Area of Cemento-osseous Dysplasia: Secondary Infection After Osseointegration and Loading.

This case report presents the clinical details of a 60-year-old woman who experienced a secondary infection 5 years postimplant placement and loading in a region affected by cemento-osseous dysplasia (COD). We conducted the simultaneous removal of the implant and the COD mass, which had become osseointegrated with the implant. Healing of the affected area was successful. Caution is paramount during implant placement in COD-affected areas, particularly during the intermediate and osteosclerotic stages, due to compromised vascularity. Copyright © 2024 by Mutaz B.
