Live Surgery: Troubleshooting a Fractured Implant Under a Bridge

Implant fractures are rare, but they can happen—even years after successful placement. The key is knowing how to handle them efficiently and effectively. In this week’s Monday Morning Minute, Dr. Todd Shatkin walks us through a real patient case where a bridge supported by four mini implants needed repair after one implant fractured. Using a precise and minimally invasive approach, Dr. Shatkin successfully removed the broken implant, placed a new one, and retrofitted the existing bridge—all in a single visit.

This case highlights the importance of proper implant placement, recognizing occlusal forces, and understanding how to troubleshoot complications when they arise. These are exactly the kinds of techniques and insights you’ll gain at our Advanced Mini Dental Implant Courses. These three-day events include live surgery with Dr. Shatkin, in-depth lectures on case selection and placement techniques, and marketing strategies to grow your implant practice.
