Implant in inferior turbinate: prognosis?

Last Updated: Nov 13, 2014

I am making a maxillary implant retained overdenture for this patient. 4 implants. One of the anterior implants appear to be in or bordering the inferior turbinate. What is the prognosis for the overdenture after it is loaded? What do you recommend?

Not a real problem , not ideal but will be fine. Main thing here is to make the denture on a bar structure to splint the Implants .. Peter

Without posterior lower jaw rehabilitation the frontal maxillary area will be definitely overloaded during mastication.
