Implants present a predictable fixed option for patients who require tooth extraction. However, complications such as implant failure reduce the success of replacement implant restorations. A patient presented to the Department of Periodontology and Implant Dentistry (New York University College of Dentistry) with pain related to a broken implant-supported prosthesis. Two failed implants were removed, and new implants were placed. After restoration delivery, the patient reported soreness on the implant at site 35 (FDI tooth-numbering system), which was then removed (along with a sequestrum of bone) and sent for biopsy. A new implant was placed and restored successfully at the 1-year follow-up. The purpose of this case report is to demonstrate that with proper planning, surgery, and restoration, a new implant can be successfully placed and restored on a site with two previous failures.
