REMOVAL OF FAILED DENTAL IMPLANT WITH APPLICATION OF CONCENTRATED
GROWTH FACTOR (CGF): A CASE REPORT

Yusof NAM, Masri MS, Noor E

Introduction: High survival rates of dental implants were commonly reported even after
10 years of follow up. Nevertheless, complications and failure may occur and the implant
would need to be removed. In recent years, the use of autogenous blood products in dental
surgery has increased due to its ability to aid the healing of the soft and hard tissues. Case
report: The case demonstrated the utilisation of concentrated growth factor (CGF) from
the patient’s blood for healing following conservative removal of a failed dental implant.
Subsequently, the patient showed satisfactory recovery without any infections and clinical
complaints. Conclusion: This explantation procedure, together with the use of CGF, may
prevent the normal bone resorption and accelerate soft tissue healing. As it is biological in
nature having originated from the patient’s blood, it is more readily accepted by the tissues
and the risk of infection is low.
