Surgical relocation of a malpositioned, unserviceable implant protruding into the maxillary sinus cavity. A clinical report.
Malpositioned implants always result in significant mechanical and aesthetic restorative challenges. This case report describes the correction of position of an unserviceable osseointegrated implant also protruding into the maxillary sinus cavity. This surgical technique facilitated the relocation of an implant-bony segment into a more favorable aesthetic and biomechanical position in a single stage surgery.
