Malposed dental implants can negatively influence the prosthetic outcome resulting in functional and esthetic compromises. Implants placed in an undesirable position are often buried, removed and replaced, or compensated for by prosthetic alterations. Two cases are presented of dental fixtures placed in unfavorable positions that were surgically relocated using segmental osteotomies.

Background: Gingival recession (GR) in malposed tooth in association with bone dehiscence and/or fenestration poses a challenge for successful root coverage treatment. Lateral closed tunnel (LCT) technique is particularly useful in isolated GR in mandibular anterior region, where the shallow vestibular depth prevents tension-free coronal mobilization of tissues.
Methods: Twenty patients with GR associated with tooth malposition were treated using a combined orthodontic-periodontic approach with a torquing auxiliary spring followed by LCT technique.

Background: To investigate the occurrence of catheter malposition in breast cancer patients undergoing Totally Implantable Venous Access Port (TIVAP) implantation and analyze the effect of TIVAP implantation site on the incidence of catheter malposition.
Methods: Clinical data of Breast cancer patients underwent TIVAP implantation in our department from 2017 to 2021 was collected by reviewing the electronic medical records. The catheter malposition rate, location and management of malposed catheters in TIVAP implantation were analyzed.

Falciform ligament hernia is a very rare internal hernia and is difficult to diagnose before surgery. We report a case of falciform ligament hernia with a specific symptom and image findings, which led to an accurate diagnosis and subsequent laparoscopic surgery. A 15-year-old adolescent boy with no previous medical history showed epigastric pain and was referred to our hospital.

After extensive research, the practice with dental implants has been used on a large scale. With the increase in its indications in various local conditions, more complications have been observed. Among these, one of the most frequent is the installation of the implants in a three-dimensional altered position, making the prosthesis and aesthetics more difficult to achieve.

Although every effort is made to place dental implants in a proper position, the restorative dentist does not always succeed. Historically, treatment options for poorly placed implants included removing the implant or leaving it "sleeping." Recent modifications of an existing technique, the segmental osteotomy, may offer hope in these situations by rendering many of these "hopeless" implants salvageable.
