Figure 8

Intra-surgical view of peri-implant surfaces decontamination by means of implantoplasty. It is noticeable how difficult it is to completely remove titanium debris from the tissues, how it is not possible to completely reach the implant surface in narrow defects, and how much implant structure may have to be removed to accomplish smoothness. Narrower implants may risk fracture due to structural modification.
