Rehabilitation of Malpositioned Implant in the Anterior Region With Customized Abutment

Abstract

The misplacement of implants represents an unfavorable complication in dental implant prostheses. Numerous instances necessitating restorative intervention, colloquially termed "rescue cases," encompass either novel occurrences or reconstructions of irreversible implant scenarios. A viable solution for addressing these prosthesis-related challenges is using cementable options. This issue is directly linked to improperly placed implants, which dentists find challenging to rectify due to the absence of angle-correcting abutments from manufacturers. In such situations, the preferred treatments involve either Implant Innovations' universal castable long abutment (UCLA) (Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, United States) or a customized abutment fashioned from the titanium alloy impression coping for the Core-Vent implant (Paragon, Calabasas, California, United States). The Department of Prosthodontics received a referral for a patient with an anterior implant that had been misplaced and required rehabilitation. This case report outlines the chosen treatment approach for an implant situated buccally.

“…During the follow-up period, the patient showed good functional and aesthetic outcomes, and no problems were noted. These findings highlight the potential of basal implants as a workable and practical remedy for situations involving poor bone health, providing a possible substitute for conventional implant techniques [26][27][28].…”
