      Hi guys, I have a problem with an implant that I placed three months ago. bone was good, my torque 45 nm, the patient does not smoke, what could be the cause of this situation

      • two things to possibly consider if you see bone loss before loading.

        1.) possible over-torquing or compression necrosis during placement

        2.) overheating of bone during prep

        of course a third option..

        3.) some other factor we dont know and havent considered (i know real helpful right?)

        probably/maybe 1 of first two but very difficult to know for sure what our failures truly come from. May be multifactorial in nature.
