Abstract
- In the present report a repair set to retrieve fractured abutments remaining in the implants of the ITI Dental Implant System is presented. In 1 case in which such fractures occurred, the repair set was successfully applied. After removal of all particles of the fractured prosthetic abutments and recutting the threads, new abutments were used, and the original suprastructure could be reinserted. The causes for such technical failures are discussed considering the relatively sparse information in the literature on that topic.
