Irreversible pulpal damage of teeth adjacent to recently placed osseointegrated implants.
Three cases of necrosis of previously vital teeth next to osseointegrated implant insertion sites are presented. In two cases, the teeth were in the anterior part of the lower jaw and exhibited the same pattern of evolution of pulpal damage (i.e. a relatively short time to become nonvital).
