Damaged Hex on Dental Implant
Dr. Levitt asks:
I’d like to discuss the removal of a dental implant with a damaged hex.
As you all know it is possible to damage the external
(or internal) hex of a dental implant by over torqueing during insertion.
Has anyone removed such a dental implant by cutting a slot into the top of the
implant? Any other thoughts on this type of situation?
