[A case of the management of inappropriate fixtures position with implant-retained overdenture].
METHODS
A 71-year-old woman came to our clinic complaining of discomfort and esthetic problem of upper and lower anterior region caused by implants inserted in inappropriate positions. For this case implant-retained removable dentures with telescope crowns and magnet attachments were applied. The patient was followed for >5 years without any problems.


CONCLUSIONS
Telescope crown may cause excessive stress for implants; however, in this case adequate maintenance including adjustments of occlusion and the fitness of denture base may have contributed to the longtime success.


CONCLUSIONS
Problems caused by implants inserted in inappropriate positions were overcome using implant-retained removable dentures with both telescope crowns and magnet attachments.
