Prosthetic Management of Malpositioned Implant in RPD Case Report

Abstract

Removable dentures in classe I KENNEDY APPLEGATE remain an essential prosthetic challenge as support is required from the teeth, the mucosa, and the underlying residual ridges. Dental implants can improve denture retention, stability, and support in distal extension removable partial denture. However, a malpositioned implant can complicate tooth/implant-supported condition. This case report describe a 66-year-old female patient treated with maxillary implant -supported removable partial denture (RPD). Both the implants were placed in first premolar site. However, the implant on the left side presented severe facial inclination. We suggest that the discharge of the prosthetic edge with using a laboratory non retentive nylon Patrice’s on the Intaglio of metal housing locator attachment can solve the problem of denture insertion.
