Abstract

Abutment fracture is a complication of dental implant treatment. When an abutment breaks, the remaining part should be retrieved without damaging the implant hex. In many cases, the implant-abutment connection is cold-welded, which makes it difficult to remove the remaining part. The aim of the present study was to describe a simple technique to retrieve the remaining part of a broken abutment. © 2019 The Authors. Clinical Case Reports published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
