Owing to the satisfactory esthetic and functional outcomes of implant surgery for the anterior teeth, some dentists consider it the gold standard treatment. However, the risk of developing peri-implantitis is positively associated with the long-term use of the implant. This necessitates the development of an implant design that reduces the risk of peri-implantitis, especially considering the long-term use of implants in young patients. This case report describes a new approach for an implant surgery using a two-stage implant in a 28-year-old woman. Her clinical course was satisfactory during the 4-year postoperative follow-up period; no inflammation was noted in the surrounding tissues. The two-stage implants allow for the removal of an implant body from an infected area and its replacement with a new abutment if peri-implantitis develops in the future.
