If the implant root has a second degree of loosening, then you have to do periodontal surgery, transplant other gingival tissue to cover the root, when you feel that the implant is about to fall off, it is regrettable that the third degree of loosening has to be removed in time, the missing tooth can only be treated with prosthetics, or do periodontal surgery to repair the gums and continue planting teeth!
