Abstract_ Background Osseointegrated endosseous implants are widely used for the rehabilitation of completely and partially edentulous patients being the final prosthodontic treatment more predictable and the failures extremely infrequent. A case of fracture of an endosseous dental implant replacing the maxillary first molar occurring in a middle-age woman 5 years after placement is reported. Materials and methods The difficult management of this rare complication of implant dentistry together with the following rehabilitation is described. Additionally the authors performed an accurate analysis of the removed fractured implant both by the stereomicroscope and by the confocal laser scanning microscope. Results and discussion The fractured impant showed the typical signs of a fatigue-induced fracture in the coronal portion of the implant .
