Abstract

Multiple dental impactions not associated with craniofacial syndromes are a rare condition and present the dentist with a therapeutic challenge when it comes to performing surgical/restorative treatments in adult patients. This case report describes a geriatric patient with multiple impacted teeth restored by means of two different protocols. In the second quadrant, an impacted tooth was extracted followed by regeneration and placement of an implant. In the third quadrant, implants were placed though impacted teeth for restoration with a fixed partial prosthesis. Placing dental implants through impacted teeth may offer a possible therapeutic option for implant-supported restorations in middle-aged or elderly patients, for whom surgery and orthodontic traction are not possible, and/or patients who refuse to undergo more invasive extraction surgery.

Keywords
