| Abstract | ||||
| Purpose: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the clinical status and radiographic changes as parameters for the success or failure of retorquing an early failed dental implant. Materials and Methods: Fifteen male patients with early failed single tooth dental implants of rotational mobility were selected. Retorquing was performed and plaque and gingiva. Data were recorded at the time of retorquing and 6, 12, 18 and 24 months later. Results: Fifteen loosed implants in 15 patients were evaluated. Four implants were lost, smoking was reported by two patients. The implants that survived were followed for 12 months and showed good clinical results. Conclusion: The attempt to retighten implants in sites where implants had early failed (rotational movement) previously results in good survival rate. | ||||
