Management of an infectious complication appearing in a transcanine implant: a case report
This case suggests that coronectomy may be a viable option for managing impacted canines in proximity to implants when complete extraction poses a high risk of complications. However, given the limited number of reported cases and the absence of long-term data, this approach should be considered with caution. Further studies are necessary to better define the indications, long-term outcomes, and potential risks of this technique.
