Introduction:
Oral rehabilitation in partial edentulous patients who require dental implants has increased its demand in recent years, becoming a routine treatment, where surgical and prosthetic procedures have considerable success In some cases these complications are resolved simply, in others.
Aims:
Better planning is needed modify and complement the patient's treatment plan as a definitive solution to the wrong positioning of osseointegrated dental implants.
Presentation of the Case:
Patient of 64 years, man, attended the Dental Care Center of the University of the Americas (CAO / UDLA), to finish specialty dental treatment, rehabilitation of four implants placed in zone 1.6 (Mis: C1 4.20 x 13mm); 1.4 (Mis: C1 3.75x11.50 mm); 1.2 (Mis: C1 3.75 x 11.50 mm); 2.1 (Mis: C1 4.20 x 11.50 mm), On clinical examination, immediate transitional acrylic prosthesis could be observed maladapted and occlusally unstable as a result of tissue healing process, loss of postero-inferior teeth (3.6; 3.7; 4.6 and 4.7). The wrong angulation of the previous implants forced the need to correct it through the use of 2 mm high straight Multi-unit rotational attachments in implants 1.6; 1.4, angled Multi-unit anti-rotational attachments from 1 mm high to 30 mm for implants 1.2 and 2.1 with healing caps to protect the attachment from the accumulation of bacterial plaque and facilitate the sanitization and insertion of the multiple prosthesis.
Conclusions:
The attachments placed modified and complemented the rehabilitation of the implants even in the anterior area where insufficient mucous tissue was found to completely cover the chosen attachment.
