Abstract

This is a case presentation of a 70 years old male who presented at my dental clinic with the following oral complaints: History of implant failure, poor aesthetics, loose and uncomfortable existing removable dentures, failing implants. Dentistry can be full of surprise and challenges.

List of complications encountered are presence of peri-implantitis in the existing MIS implants, maxilla and mandible atrophy, limited inter-occlusal distance, early implant failure with new Straumann implants, wrong selection in the type of dental implants, Non-parallel implants placed, challenge in impression procedure, limited parts available from the implant supplier, poor access for hygiene maintenance.
