Pt has had #29-#31 implant placed 30 years ago, #30 and #29 in good functional condition. #31 hasnt had functional crown for last 10 years. has kept ” failling off”

Fractured/ flowered implant collar? abutment is loose, looks like possible fractured screw.

Is removing the only reccomended treatment for #31 implant for this case at this stage?

  Hey joseph, I have some good recommendations for you here. Not sure what you mean that it hasnt had a “functional crown.”
  
  The way to really dig in here is to remove the abutment and see what’s going on. I would DEFINTELY warn the patient that its not guaranteed to work, but that you are doing exploring to get to the cause.
  
  It might be a loose screw, fractured screw, or a fractured implant platform. LMK what you decide to do! Im happy to look at more pictures for you
