Chronic Submerged Implant Infection Treated with Immediate Implantation and Guided Bone Regeneration: A Case Report

Table 2: Summary of the findings of our study.

No.	Advantages
1- 2- 3- 4- 5- 6- 7-	Conservative implant removal allows immediate implantation. No bone removal minimizes the amount of bone needed for GBR. Conservative implant removal provides the opportunity for implant osseointegration. The source of infection is completely removed. The process is time consuming. Engaging the palatal bone during implant placement provides better stability and allows new bone to surround the implant. Using a second implant with an aggressive design achieves better primary stability.
