Abstract

Rationale: This case report outlines a novel prosthodontic approach for managing a broken screw inside an implant screw channel, emphasising the importance of innovative solutions in implant dentistry. Patient Concerns: A 57-year-old male patient sought restoration for implant-supported crowns (#46 and #47). A broken screw inside the implant screw channel posed a significant concern for both the patient and the dental team. Treatment: Utilising an impression pickup technique of the inner surface of the implant body, a custom titanium abutment was fabricated in the laboratory and restoration was successfully replaced. A follow-up of 6 months was performed, ensuring optimal function and patient satisfaction. Outcome: The custom titanium abutment with a zirconia crown was placed, leading to a successful restoration. The patient reported no discomfort, demonstrating improved function and aesthetics. Take-away Lesson: This case highlights the effectiveness of tailored prosthodontic interventions in addressing complex implant-related complications.
