7-Year old anterior implants: proper treatment plan?
Last Updated: May 14, 2015
Today a new patient from Peru came in for an emergency about a fractured maxillary molar, but I couldn’t resist taking a radiograph of her 7 year old anterior implants to see what was underneath. Much to my surprise was a surprise! Are the threads stripped off on the #21(9) and is it surrounded by a radiolucency? They are definitely not seated properly #11 ( 8 ) more than the #21 ( 9 ), but what kind of implants and what do people think the proper treatment plan is, if any? Patient has Zero symptoms, but is unhappy with the aesthetics, i.e. Splaying of the central incisors. The composite covering of the access hole keeps coming off for obvious reasons and she seems to be occluding on the abutment screw as well. Thoughts?
