In case if the surgeon faced problem in initial stability for immediate implant after implantation and while the flab still opened, is it possible to remove the aborted fixture and implant it on another site or it's risky because the fixture exposed to air and the surface treatment already affected by implantation process ?
Placing the implant in a saline can help. Aborting the implant placement should not be as a result of accidental placement into an infected site e.g. presence of cysts. In such cases rinsing with flowing saline can help.
Normally implant surgery is performed under sterile conditions. So there should be no problem transferring the implant into another site. The surface treatment does not get affected unless physically damaged.
Once the implant comes in contact with biological eviroment ( for eg. blood, plasma etc.| the implant surface becomes althered permanently. However if the asepsis is nor disrupted shouldn't be a problem to place it in a new site. The effect of flushing with saline could be discussed as it may affect the fibrin contact with the implant surface in a negative way.
