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. The aim of this oral presentation is to explain the complications aroused during implant treatment for this patient and discuss how this case was managed in an evidence-based approach.
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
