Dental implants are capable of restoring function to near normal in both partial and completely edentulous arches thus their popularity has increased over the years. A single-tooth implant has been commonly encountered with the complications like the abutment loosening or fracturing of retaining screws. Inadequate torque force applied to the screw is the most important reason for screw loosening and fracture. Retrieval of a fractured abutment screw is the most challenging scenario for a clinician. There is no universal method applied to remove a broken screw inside an implant. In the present case study a conventional method is used for the prosthetic rehabilitation of the broken abutment screw of an implant. Implant-related complications are a burden to the clinician and very difficult to manage. So this case study is about the management of a fractured abutment screw in an implant without implant removal.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
