The replacement of maxillary second molars with implants is challenging due to reduced residual bone height and low bone density in the posterior maxillary region near the tuberosity. This complexity increases when replacing these molars as single units. This article presents a series of clinical cases where maxillary second molars were replaced with unitary implants, […]
Introduction Peri-implant diseases, including peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis, are biofilm-associated inflammatory conditions affecting the tissues surrounding dental implants.

However, there remain one or two spots where the treatment goal has not been fully achieved. This may lead to the thought,
