Abstract
We report a case in which a silicone implant was removed from the chin region using silicone implantation at about 50 years postoperatively due to odontogenic infection. A woman in her 70s was referred to our clinic with a chief complaint of pus discharge in the gingiva and the chin region. CT showed a radiopaque lesion in the mental region and it was attached to apical periodontitis in lower canine teeth. Under general anesthesia we removed the silicone implant and the teeth that caused the infection and unviable teeth with a clinical diagnosis of implant infection, and the postoperative course was uneventful.
