We solved the problem of a dental implant in a patient residing in a care home. An 86-year-old female patient had lost her prosthesis supported by an implant. The exposed abutment had injured her lips and tongue, so her visiting dentist asked us to remove the abutment. After we removed the abutment, the patient no longer feels pain due to injury and can comfortably handle her removable denture.
