73-year-old female
A 73-year-old female experiencing discomfort in the region of implant 19 was referred for evaluation. The radiologist identified a cosmetic implant along the facial surface of the mandibular body extending from anterior to the left mental foramen to approximately the right retromolar area. The implant demonstrated asymmetric positioning and mild cortical bone erosion in the anterior mandible. Its position inferior to the right mental foramen was noted as clinically significant, as external compression of the mental nerve can cause lower lip and chin paresthesia. Correlation with clinical signs, symptoms, surgical history, and comparison with prior imaging were recommended to determine whether the implant had migrated from its original position.
