Abstract
Implant Dentistry from One-Way Direction to the Reversibility of the Osseointegration.
Highlights
The principle of reversibility is commonly discussed in relation to the retention mechanism of the prosthesis.[2]
In my opinion, it is extendable to the implant fixture itself
Placing more titanium than necessary is not a virtue, and it would complicate the reversibility of implant therapy
Summary
The reversibility (des-osseointegration) of the dental implant opens a door in the management of complications. The principle of reversibility is commonly discussed in relation to the retention mechanism of the prosthesis.[2] But nowadays, in my opinion, it is extendable to the implant fixture itself (des-osseointegration). The implant size (diameter and length) and design (neck walls and connection) are factors that influence the removal torque of an implant and the reversibility.[3,4,5] Placing more titanium than necessary is not a virtue, and it would complicate the reversibility of implant therapy.
