Malpositioned Dental Implant
Last Updated: Sep 05, 2006
Dr. H. asks:
Last night, I had inserted a fixture in right central incisor with diameter of 4.1 mm and 11 mm length. When I incised and reflect the flap I was confronted with a protruding crestal bone in the right central area because of malalignment of the extracted central.
It was impossible to place the fixture in the palatal area, so I
inserted the fixture deep in the protruded crest. Can I solve this
problem with an angulated abutment? Also should I use cemented or screw type
crown? Should I expect future recession on the buccal aspect?
