Abstract
This paper presents an unreported etiology of implant periapical lesion (IPL). The presence of an osteolytic area around the apex and around the middle portion of a stable Straumann hollow screw implant was found on periapical radiographs 3.5 years after implant placement. Case management involved curettage of the soft tissue surrounding the implant apex as well as resection of the non-osseointegrated portion of the implant.
