We present a case of reimplantation of an accidentally avulsed beaded Endopore (Innova Corp., Toronto, Canada) implant. The technique of immediate splinting and pharmacotherapy is described together with the clinical and radiologic evaluation for reosseointegration. This single case of reimplantation with immediate functional loading would suggest that, contrary to the manufacturer's recommendation, the Endopore implants can be successfully loaded immediately, functionally or nonfunctionally.
