Management of Broken Screw Inside Implant Screw Channel: A Case Report.

Indian J Dent Res

Department of Restorative Dentistry, College of Dentistry, Ajman University, UAE.

Published: January 2024

Rationale: This case report outlines a novel prosthodontic approach for managing a broken screw inside an implant screw channel, emphasising the importance of innovative solutions in implant dentistry.

Patient Concerns: A 57-year-old male patient sought restoration for implant-supported crowns (#46 and #47). A broken screw inside the implant screw channel posed a significant concern for both the patient and the dental team.

Treatment: Utilising an impression pickup technique of the inner surface of the implant body, a custom titanium abutment was fabricated in the laboratory and restoration was successfully replaced. A follow-up of 6 months was performed, ensuring optimal function and patient satisfaction.

Outcome: The custom titanium abutment with a zirconia crown was placed, leading to a successful restoration. The patient reported no discomfort, demonstrating improved function and aesthetics.

Takeaway Lesson: This case highlights the effectiveness of tailored prosthodontic interventions in addressing complex implant-related complications.

Structure-Dependent Nonlinear Optical Effects in Spiral WS Nanosheets.

Adv Mater

February 2025

College of Physics and Optoelectronic Engineering, Taiyuan University of Technology, Taiyuan, 030024, China.

Spiral transition-metal dichalcogenides with broken crystal inversion symmetry and significant second-order nonlinear responses have shown great promise for further nonlinear optical applications. However, various spiral structures will be formed during their synthesis process, their second harmonic generation (SHG) varying with the layer thickness and which of them manifesting the most promising SHG response are still unresolved. Here, the layer-dependent SHG response is investigated for four representative spiral WS with different screw and twist angles, including aligned- and twisted-triangular spiral structures, aligned- and twisted-hexagonal spiral structures, respectively.

Background: Pulmonary hernia is a rare condition characterized by the protrusion of lung tissue through a chest wall defect. Trauma and thoracic surgery are the most common causes of acquired lung hernias. We present an unusual case of (sequential) bilateral lung herniation with parenchymal infarction after bilateral lobar lung transplantation.

A woman in her 40s presented with persistent left hip pain and restricted motion for 5 years. X-ray findings revealed an uncemented bipolar stem, tension band wiring of greater trochanter with K wires, a broken Shenton line and protrusion acetabuli. The patient previously underwent unsuccessful cancellous screws fixation for an intracapsular neck of femur fracture, leading to non-union and subsequent bipolar hemiarthroplasty outside our facility.
