Abstract:
Malposed dental implants can negatively influence the prosthetic outcome resulting in functional and esthetic compromises. Implants placed in an undesirable position are often buried, removed and replaced, or compensated for by prosthetic alterations. Two cases are presented of dental fixtures placed in unfavorable positions that were surgically relocated using segmental osteotomies.
