Interim restoration using dynamic abutments to re-treat a single-implant crown with a labial angulation: A clinical report

The cause of some peri-implant problems may be primarily attributable to the design of the prosthesis. A screw-retained interim implant may be advisable for reversibility and to avoid peri-implant cement, although screw retention may be difficult for maxillary anterior implants with a labial angulat...

Description
Summary:The cause of some peri-implant problems may be primarily attributable to the design of the prosthesis. A screw-retained interim implant may be advisable for reversibility and to avoid peri-implant cement, although screw retention may be difficult for maxillary anterior implants with a labial angulation. In the treatment described, a interim screw-retained crown was attached to a dynamic abutment with a lingual screw access hole to obtain a correctly fitting restoration.
