When this occurs, patients may a food impaction, caries, and periodontal issues. Although it is not fully understood, the physiological mesial drifting of the adjacent natural teeth seems to be the most probable etiology for this phenomenon. Regardless of the etiology, regaining the proper proximal contact can be quite challenging and troublesome unless the implant prostheses are retrievable. Therefore, securing the retrievability of implant prostheses becomes a prerequisite for solving complications associated with improper proximal contact. This article presents a simple clinical method using a modified framework design to repair the proximal contact loss between implant retained fixed prostheses and adjacent natural teeth.
