Prosthetic Treatment of Malpositioned Implants — Osteocom (Video Course)

The Malpositioned Implants Course from osteocom addresses a frequent dilemma in the esthetic zone: an implant is osseointegrated but poorly positioned, and removing it is not an option. Prof. Carlo Monaco explains how such cases can be retreated prosthetically, and a combined surgical-prosthetic case is then commented with Prof. Giovanni Zucchelli.

What the Malpositioned Implants Course covers

Three video lectures set out the prosthetic reasoning, followed by one fully commented clinical case. The topics include:

• Managing cases where removing the osseointegrated implant is not an option
• Soft tissue management before and after surgery
• Decision-making criteria for prosthetic retreatment, taking risk factors into account
• Shaping and conditioning tissues and managing provisional restorations
• Digital technologies to improve prosthetic procedures and maintain or correct malpositioned fixtures
• Combining prosthetic and surgical treatment in complex cases

Who it is for

• Prosthodontists and restorative dentists restoring implants placed by themselves or by other clinicians.
• Implant surgeons who also restore and want to see the prosthetic consequences of implant position.
• Clinicians receiving referred implant cases who must judge what can be achieved restoratively.
• Dental technicians collaborating on complex implant restorations.

Experience with implant restoration, abutments and prosthetic components is assumed. If you are still building that foundation, start with implant restoration basics and with how correct implant positioning is planned from the outset, then return to this course.

The Welded Angulated Abutment technique

A central element of the course is the Welded Angulated Abutment technique, developed with the School of Bologna team and supported by digital tools. It is presented as a way to handle complex cases where the implant axis or position makes a conventional restoration difficult. The commented case shows how prosthetic and surgical steps are sequenced so that soft tissue conditioning and the final restoration support each other.

Because these solutions depend on close collaboration with the laboratory, watching the Malpositioned Implants Course together with your technician can be especially productive. Bringing radiographs and photographs of your own challenging cases makes the comparison more concrete. As with any recorded training, it clarifies the options but does not replace supervised clinical experience.
