Abstract : The implant periapical lesion (IPL), which is a possible cause of implant failure, may occur due to the presence of a pre-existing microbial pathology such as endodontic/periodontal lesions. A 27-year-old female patient underwent the placement of a screw-shaped submergible titanium dental implant in the maxillary anterior region. Six months after implant insertion, the patient visited our hospital and presented with a persistent pain resistant to analgesics. A periapical x-ray showed the presence of a radiolucency at the apical portion of the implant ; this image was confirmed by cone beam CT. Root canal treatment was performed to restore the bone defect in the neighborhood of the fixture. This paper presents a case history related to IPL, which was caused by a pre-existing endodontic lesion.
