Abstract

Abutment screw loosening is the most common complication in single implant-supported crowns, typically remedied by simply reattaching the restoration, preferably using a new abutment screw. The internal aspect of the implant along with any other components should be decontaminated before reconnection. This clinical report provides information on the appropriate management of the decontamination process, as well as evidence of the foreign material found within the implant body.<br /> (Copyright © 2024 Editorial Council for The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry.
