Interdisciplinary orthodontics: a case report.

Replacement of the impacted maxillary canines with implants is a great challenge for all dentists. Adequate implant space, sufficient space between the roots, alveolar bone bed, thin labialgingiva and the guiding role of canine in a mutually protected occlusion make the choice of implant position with proper diameter more difficult. In this article we present a patient whose upper canines were replaced with implants after surgical removal of impacted teeth. There was inadequate space for prosthetic crown over implant fixtures.
