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.
