Placing an implant immediately into extraction sockets provides a distinct advantage over delayed placement, eliminating the need for a 4 to 6 months waiting period for bone formation. However, when patients present with hypothyroidism, the feasibility of immediate placement of dental implants becomes uncertain. This case involved a hypothyroid woman in her late 60s with loose lower anterior teeth. We performed atraumatic extractions. Immediately after extraction, we implanted tilted implants into her lower posterior arch, which is an area with limited vertical bone height. In the anterior arch, which is characterized by thick, soft tissue, we implanted vertical implants. We used multiunit abutments in the anterior region to address hygiene and angulation issues. The final prosthesis comprised a porcelain-fused-to-metal screw-retained bridge with group function occlusion. These prostheses offer advantages compared with cement-retained prostheses, particularly with multiunit abutments that allow passive prosthetic fitting despite implant axis deviation. This approach strengthens the hemidesmosomal connection, reduces the need for repeated screwing and unscrewing, and promotes stability in the peri-implant tissues. This case underscores the clinical benefits of immediate implant placement and the advantages of using screw-retained prostheses in patients with hypothyroidism. Although extensive research has been conducted to analyze factors influencing the success of dental implants in individuals with hypothyroidism, ongoing debates persist in the literature. This case demonstrates successful implantation of dental implants in a patient with hypothyroidism.

Breast implant surgery is a popular, globally performed, and frequently requested cosmetic and reconstructive surgical procedure. Breast implant surgery can cause implant-associated systemic symptoms and types of implant-associated cancers, so it is vital to monitor patient outcomes. Most patients who undergo breast implant surgery do not experience health problems. However, patients who do experience health problems as a result of breast implant surgery form a unique patient population. When plastic and aesthetic surgeons, nurses, and other healthcare providers are knowledgeable and experienced in recognizing and treating patients with health problems related to breast implant surgery, the health outcomes of this patient population improve. This article aims to promote informed decision-making and increase patient safety by providing information about the health problems associated with breast implant surgery. This article also highlights recent safety announcements and updates from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Ensuring the safety of patients undergoing breast implant surgery is a responsibility shared by plastic and aesthetic surgeons, nurses, and other healthcare providers; the general medical community; breast implant manufacturers; and the FDA. These entities must collaborate and coordinate as a united group to accomplish this important goal. The nursing profession can contribute to these collaborative efforts by serving as professional liaisons to these entities and advocating for continued collaborative efforts to increase the safety of patients who have undergone breast implant surgery.
