Screw Fractured on Nobel Replace Implant: Which Technique Should I Use to Retrive the Screw?
Last Updated: Jun 07, 2010
Dr. GS asks:
I placed a Nobel Biocare Replace Select implant and the screw fractured. I need to retrieve the most apical portion of the screw which is lodged firmly inside the implant fixture. Visibility is very difficult. What technique do you recommend to retrieve the screw fragment? Also, why did this happen? How can I prevent this from happening again? I have never had this happen before? I cannot figure out what I did wrong?
