This clinical report describes an unusual consequence of peri-implantitis and subsequent implant failure in a 72-year-old man. Following uneventful implant removal, osteomyelitis developed at the implant site, which subsequently weakened the mandible sufficiently for a pathological fracture to occur. The patient was treated successfully by use of an intensive oral hygiene regime, antibiotics, and conservative management. The consequences and management of implant failure are discussed, as well as issues relating to the management of osteomyelitis and pathological bone fracture.
本临床报告描述了一名72岁男性患者种植体周围炎及随后种植体失败的异常后果。在顺利取出种植体后，种植体部位发生了骨髓炎，随后下颌骨因之变得足够脆弱，从而发生了病理性骨折。通过强化口腔卫生措施、使用抗生素及保守治疗，该患者获得了成功治疗。文中讨论了种植体失败的后果及处理方法，以及与骨髓炎和病理性骨折处理相关的问题。
