Abstract

The widespread use of endosseous osseointegrated implants to replace missing natural teeth increases the chances of implant complications and failures, despite the high initial success rate reported in the literature. Implant and healing cap fracture are possible rare complications that can cause significant problems for both clinicians and patients. This article reports on 2 unique cases of implant and healing cap fracture, their possible causes, and how the cases were managed.
