Dental implants commonly support fixed restorations. This study details using a fragment removal instrument and ultrasonic instrumentation to successfully retrieve a fractured screw.
Area of Science:
- Dental implantology
- Prosthodontics
- Surgical instrumentation
Background:
- Dental implants are frequently used to support and retain fixed dental restorations.
- Screw loosening or fracture can compromise implant restoration stability.
Observation:
- A case report detailing the retrieval of a fractured screw fragment from a dental implant restoration.
- The technique involved a specialized fragment removal instrument combined with ultrasonic instrumentation.
Findings:
- Successful retrieval of a fractured screw fragment was achieved.
- The combined use of fragment removal and ultrasonic instruments proved effective in this clinical scenario.
Implications:
- This technique offers a viable solution for managing fractured screws in dental implant restorations.
- It may help preserve implant integrity and avoid more invasive procedures.
