Abstract: In this paper, we searched CNKI, Google Scholar, PubMed, Embase and other databases from 2000 to 2022 for all the published literature related to the osseointegrated implant removal techniques, and counted the number of clinical cases of osseointegrated implant removal and the number of implants surgically removed, the location of implants, poor prognosis and other information. The clinical cases and surgical removals of osseointegrated implants were counted, and the numbers of implants, implant locations, and poor prognosis were summarized. The indications for osseointegrated implant removal were summarized, and the limitations and possible complications of various methods were discussed, and a series of decision-making options were proposed to help clinicians to determine the most appropriate minimally invasive technique for removing osseointegrated implants.
