Several procedures for decontaminating the implant surface and promoting bone growth have been established to treat this condition. The purpose of the present case report was to describe the decontamination method used to achieve peri-implant health in a 60-year-old man who had a single implant that had been in function in the mandibular left molar region for 10 years.

Background: Fused teeth usually involve several complications, such as the development of caries in the groove between fused crowns, tooth impaction, diastemas, aesthetic and periodontal problems, and pulpal pathosis, due to the complex anatomical structure of fused teeth. A thorough diagnosis is paramount to forming an accurate treatment plan and obtaining a favourable prognosis. With the advent of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), accurate 3-dimensional images of teeth and their surrounding dentoalveolar structures can now be readily obtained, and the technology can accurately provide a minimally invasive approach to acquire detailed diagnostic information.
