Before you sign

Review this document before your appointment when possible. Your treating dentist must still explain the patient-specific treatment, benefits, material risks, alternatives—including no treatment—and answer your questions. Do not sign after receiving sedating medication.

2. What you are agreeing to

Proposed treatment

The gum is lifted to expose the infected implant. Inflamed tissue is removed and the implant surface is decontaminated. Depending on the shape of the bone defect, the surgery may then be resective (recontouring the bone and, where indicated, smoothing the exposed implant threads — implantoplasty), reconstructive (placing a bone graft and often a membrane to try to regain support), or a combination.

Material risks and limitations

  • Recession of the gum margin is common after this surgery, and is more likely with the resective approach. The implant, its collar, or the edge of the crown may show afterward, and the result may look longer or darker than before.
  • Re-integration of bone to the implant surface cannot be promised. Grafting may fail to gain support, and grafted material can be partly or wholly lost.
  • Smoothing threads removes metal and thins the implant. On narrow-diameter implants this can leave the implant more likely to fracture.
  • Pain, swelling, bruising, bleeding, infection, wound opening, and membrane or graft exposure.
  • Numbness, tingling, or altered sensation of the lip, chin, tongue, or cheek — usually temporary, rarely permanent.
  • The infection can recur. Further surgery, or removal of the implant, may still become necessary.
  • Lifelong professional maintenance and good home cleaning are required to hold any result achieved.

Reasonable alternatives

  • Non-surgical treatment and maintenance alone, implant removal with or without reconstruction of the site, a removable replacement, or no treatment.

If nothing is done

  • Bone loss generally progresses, and the implant may loosen, become painful, or fail. Continued loss also reduces what is available to rebuild with later.
