Area of Science:

  • Oral surgery
  • Dental implantology
  • Prosthodontics

Background:

  • Malpositioned dental implants can lead to significant functional and esthetic compromises.
  • Current management options include implant removal, replacement, or prosthetic compensation, often with suboptimal results.

Observation:

  • Two cases involving dental implants in unfavorable positions were identified.
  • These implants presented challenges for successful prosthetic restoration.

Findings:

  • Segmental osteotomies were employed to surgically reposition the malposed dental implants.
  • The surgical relocation successfully addressed the unfavorable implant positioning.

Implications:

  • Segmental osteotomy is a viable surgical technique for correcting malposed dental implants.
  • This approach can potentially improve prosthetic outcomes and patient satisfaction.
