Worst implant case I’ve seen: treatment options?
Last Updated: Mar 25, 2013
This is a real case and I think it’s the worst implant case I have ever seen. The patient (went out of the country for treatment) received implants in the mandibular anterior region which appears to have a diminished occlusogingival height. The implants are also very close together. From my perspective this case will be extremely difficult to restore as is. What kinds of treatment options are there for this patient? How can I best explain the situation to the patient?
