Copyright policy )Retrieving a “frozen” over‐torqued altered dental implant healing abutment: A dental technique
AbstractThis report describes a method for retrieval of an over‐torqued and altered dental healing abutment using a conservative approach with readily available armamentarium. The previously unretrievable prosthetic component had been modified to support an implant crown prosthesis which required replacement. Conventional reverse torque using a prosthetic driver was unsuccessful in removal of the abutment due to damage within the prosthetic channel of the healing abutment. The approach outlined utilized an off‐label use of refrigerant spray and #13 Ash extraction forceps for application of reverse torque onto the abutment. The result was a conservative solution for management of an over‐torqued and damaged healing abutment using readily available armamentarium.
