title: Management of a Malpositioned Implant in the Anterior Maxilla.
abstract: The surgical and prosthodontic management of patients with multiple missing teeth in the anterior maxilla can be challenging. The purpose of this clinical report is to illustrate the 2-year outcome after immediate implant placement in unintentional close proximity with the adjacent root. Following uneventful healing, the definitive implant rehabilitation was done with a modified monolithic zirconia framework and porcelain veneers bonded to the framework. The patient's satisfaction with the functional and esthetic outcomes remained high throughout the observation time, with no symptoms or biologic and technical complications.
