I did exploratory flap and I found some shards of titanium on the corner of the flap.

I forgot when we did that lateral sinus augmentation that we denuded the threads of the implant #14 site as the apical portion perforated the cortex. Apparently I didnt get all of the shrapnel.   This took 4-5 months to manifest and had noting to do with #15,16 placement.

Everything else looked great. 

Thanks everyone

Thanks Ho Young,

Will do.

Madeson not that I know of. She has 2 other implants placed over the last 2 years without complications.

Thanks

Chad, bring in patient and perform exploratory surgery.  you need to remove healing abutments and place cover screws.  LA and flap open.  Based on information provided, I can't determine what has happened.  Tx plan will depend on what you see after flapping.  be prepared to remove implants, however.
