A full arch case appears successful—until the patient returns with a major complication. What’s your next move?
Three months after implant placement, this patient presented with exposed mandibular bone and complete wound dehiscence.
Management included removal of necrotic bone and soft tissue, along with the implant at site #20. The defect was then grafted with mineralized corticocancellous bone and covered with a 30 × 40 mm Mem-Lok collagen membrane. Closure was achieved using a transosseous anchor suturing technique.
Recognizing the complication is only the beginning.
Knowing how to manage it makes all the difference.
