Non-Destructive Removal of Dental Implant by Using the Cryogenic Method.

ABSTRACT: Background and Objectives: The gold standard for a successful prosthetic approach is the osseointegration of an implant. However, this integration can be a problem in cases where the implant needs to be removed. Removing the implant with minimal damage to the surrounding tissues is important. Osteocytes cannot survive below -2 °C, but epithelial cells, fibroblasts, and other surrounding tissue cells can. Remodeling can be triggered by cryotherapy at temperatures that specifically affect osteocyte necrosis. In this study, we aimed to develop a method for reversing the osseointegration mechanism and for protecting the surrounding tissues by bone remodeling induced by CO₂ cryotherapy. Materials and Methods: In this study, eight 2.8 mm diameter, one-piece mini implants
