Possibility Implant Has Moved? | OsseoNews Discussions on Dental Implants: "Dear Anon,
What happened is obviously an alien abduction. While doing an extreme MRI on it, it moved. Please double check with your patient.
OK OK, I am just joking!

It could be that after you placed the healing abutment, the patient accidentally bit on a hard piece of nut or some such thing that is hard and large which we sometimes insist on placing into our stoma in order to masticate and consume it. The hefty crunch was so hefty that it actually caused the bone to give way, but not the periosteum though…… and the whole implant moved 2mm. After that horrid experience, the patient decided to give it a prolonged and careful rest and ate on the other side most of the time and lo and behold, the implant reosseointegrated again in its new location. Over the extended time that you mentioned, the patient selectively forgot about it or chose not to mention it in case you blame him/she for any residual problem. I could have sworn that that is what happened to one implant I placed several years ago.

Cheers!"
