【 摘 要 】

Background Implant-supported restorations can fail biologically or mechanically. Mechanical failures include crown fracture, framework fracture, screw loosening, and screw fracture. Fracture of the implant abutment screw can be a serious problem leading to implant failure. Unavailability of universal standard screw retrieval kit in market makes it difficult to retrieve the fractured screw of various implant systems.Conclusion This clinical report describes the management of an implant prosthetic screw fracture using an unconventional technique and simple armamentarium available in regular clinic setup.
