CORRECTION OF MALALIGNED IMPLANT IN CONJUNCTION WITH CASTABLE ABUTMENT AND SMILE DESIGNING-A CASE REPORT

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The aim of this paper was to present a rehabilitation of a patient with a
dynamic universal castable long abutment (UCLA) for a single tilted implant in the anterior
maxillary area in conjunction with smile designing.
PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 23-year-old male patient attended the dentistry college clinic
complaining of a complaint of fractured teeth of the dental element 11. The implant was
misaligned and it was planned to correct it in a two-stage surgical protocol, and an external
hexagon implant(3.75×11.5mm) was placed. After a six-month healing period to correct the
implant position, a dynamic UCLA was set in place, rectifying the implant emergence profile at
20◦. The Emax ceramic structure construction and fitting was performed and, after the patient’s
consent, the prosthesis was finalized and installed.
DISCUSSION: After a follow-up period of twenty months, no complications were observed.
