Abstract
Dental implants are an effective and predictable treatment for restoration of missing teeth. However, as the use of implants increases, complications are also increasing. The mechanical complications are not only highly frequent, but also increasing as life span of an implant increases, thus, solutions should be prepared. In this report, we will present a case dealing with abutment fracture and abutment screw fracture which are the most common mechanical complication of the implant, focusing on preserving and reusing existing components by reconstructing only the damaged parts.
