Abstract:
A 57-year-old man with missing permanent maxillary right first and second premolars presented for treatment. Two axially misaligned implants had been previously placed in the edentulous area and had successfully integrated, resulting in significant mechanical and esthetic restorative challenges. The prosthodontic treatment included placing 2 custom all-ceramic implant abutments and all-ceramic crowns. This treatment resulted in functional and esthetic restorations despite axial malposition of the implants.
