Endosseous implant failure influenced by crown cementation: a clinical case report.

Implant dentistry has developed predictable treatment outcomes. Nevertheless, there are multiple reasons for implant failure. This case report documents a previously unreported type of implant failure that occurred 1 month after crown cementation. The implant failure is believed to be associated with retained excess subgingival cement.
