The explantations were performed by the application of counter-torque to break the bone-implant interface. Successful implant explantation was achieved in 98.4% of the implants. The frequency of complications was 1.3%, most commonly related to the appearance of fissure lines at the implant neck.<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"sub-title\">Conclusions:\u00a0<\/strong>The counter-torque technique has a high success rate but is not exempt from complications, although at a very low rate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong class=\"sub-title\">Keywords:\u00a0<\/strong>Counter\/torque; Dental implant; Explantation; Implant removal; Minimally invasive; Periimplantitis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221; content_text_aligment=&#8221;left&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Figures<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space]<div class=\"qodef-image-gallery qodef-grid-list qodef-disable-bottom-space  qodef-ig-grid-type qodef-four-columns qodef-tiny-space  qodef-image-behavior-lightbox\">\n\t<div class=\"qodef-ig-inner qodef-outer-space\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-ig-image qodef-item-space\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-ig-image-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a itemprop=\"image\" class=\"qodef-ig-lightbox\" href=\"https:\/\/www.btitrainingcenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Frequency-distribution-of-the-location-of-the-explanted-dental-implant.jpeg\" data-rel=\"prettyPhoto[image_gallery_pretty_photo-118]\" title=\"&lt;strong&gt;Figure 1:&lt;\/strong&gt; Frequency distribution of the location of the explanted dental implant\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.btitrainingcenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Frequency-distribution-of-the-location-of-the-explanted-dental-implant-200x200.jpeg\" alt=\"Figure 1: Frequency distribution of the location of the explanted dental implantdistribution of the location of the explanted dental implant\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-ig-image qodef-item-space\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-ig-image-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a itemprop=\"image\" class=\"qodef-ig-lightbox\" href=\"https:\/\/www.btitrainingcenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/02_The-cause-of-implant-removal.jpeg\" data-rel=\"prettyPhoto[image_gallery_pretty_photo-118]\" title=\"&lt;strong&gt;Figure 2:&lt;\/strong&gt; The cause of implant removal\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.btitrainingcenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/02_The-cause-of-implant-removal-200x200.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-ig-image qodef-item-space\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-ig-image-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a itemprop=\"image\" class=\"qodef-ig-lightbox\" href=\"https:\/\/www.btitrainingcenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/03_Panoramic-radiograph-.jpeg\" data-rel=\"prettyPhoto[image_gallery_pretty_photo-118]\" title=\"&lt;strong&gt;Figure 3:&lt;\/strong&gt; Panoramic radiograph showing excessive marginal bone loss affecting all the dental implants in the mandible supporting fixed prostheses (a).
