Osseointegrated dental implants are common and widely used to treat edentulism. Implant displacement into the maxillofacial spaces during surgery or after a period of use is a complication recognized in the literature. Foreign objects such as titanium dental implants in the maxillofacial region must be removed because they cause infection due to tissue reaction. In this report, the authors present the case of a patient whose dental implant slipped into the submental space after surgical integration and describe the surgical removal of the implant via an extraoral approach.
骨结合式牙种植体很常见且广泛用于治疗牙列缺失。在手术过程中或使用一段时间后，种植体移位至颌面间隙是文献中已认识到的一种并发症。颌面区域的异物如钛牙种植体必须取出，因为它们会因组织反应而导致感染。在本报告中，作者介绍了一例患者的病例，该患者的牙种植体在手术整合后滑入颏下间隙，并描述了通过口外入路手术取出种植体的过程。
