Abstract
This 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.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Prosthodontics promotes the advanced study and practice of prosthodontics, implant, esthetic, and reconstructive dentistry. It is the official journal of the American College of Prosthodontists, the American Dental Association-recognized voice of the Specialty of Prosthodontics. The journal publishes evidence-based original scientific articles presenting information that is relevant and useful to prosthodontists. Additionally, it publishes reports of innovative techniques, new instructional methodologies, and instructive clinical reports with an interdisciplinary flair. The journal is particularly focused on promoting the study and use of cutting-edge technology and positioning prosthodontists as the early-adopters of new technology in the dental community.
