title: Retrieval and replacement of a malpositioned dental implant: a clinical report.
abstract: This clinical report describes the retrieval of a malpositioned mandibular implant with a severe lingual inclination. A replacement implant was inserted with an emphasis on its relationship with the maxillary antagonist, resulting in a buccal inclination of approximately 10 degrees. The treatment review highlights the importance of thorough communication among all members of the dental implant team.
