The success of dental implants largely depends on the degree of osseointegration. Failures, however, can arise not only from biological issues like poor osseointegration or peri-implantitis but also from technical problems. One significant issue is the fracture of the implant abutment screw, as the remaining fragment within the implant can hinder its ability to function effectively as an anchor. This clinical report outlines a straightforward and cost-efficient method for removing fractured screw fragments, using intraoral tips of light body polyvinyl siloxane (PVS) enabling the continued use of the existing prosthesis. This is a non-invasive retrieval technique demonstrates its effectiveness and potential for improving clinical outcomes in dental implantology.
