An implant may fail due to insufficient osseointegration between the supporting bone and the implant. Surgical removal of a failed implant
is unavoidable with severe bone loss and an infectious state. In this case, a wide-ranging bone graft surgery is needed. The mandibular
body bone (MBB) is an autogenous bone that could be a donor site for an alveolar bone graft. An MBB graft is easy, simple, and safe.
This study reports a successful bone graft that used only MBB to repair a failed implant site. (JOURNAL OF DENTAL IMPLANT RESEARCH
