Dental Implant fracture after 6 years

2024-06-30 17:02:40
I got a titanium dental implant on my bottom second molar 6 years ago. I ate popcorn 5 days ago and since then experienced soreness n mild pain there. Finally when I touched it, it was shaking I visited my dentist and they take an X-Ray and were surprised to see the Implant was fractured. My doc says the bone around it is intact and it’s shocking how it still got fractured despite that. Any idea why a dental implant would fracture without a proper cause? (Attached the Xray pic)

Normally, the implants should not fracture under such minor forces. You will have to check the quality of the Implant. Also, the person who did it if the Implant has fractured, I am sure the Dentist will replace it free of cost for you.

This can happen due to uneven distribution of the biting forces . However, you should consult your dentist and he/she could arrange a replacement implant for you if the implant manufacturer company agrees.

That’s usual. Some sort of force will eating could lead to this. Your dentist should discuss the matter with company from which he/she procured the implant
