“…That study found a very low incidence of complications affecting implant-connection components after 5 years of clinical service. Another systematic review 91 of single implants stated that maintenance treatments were quite common with approximately 1 out of 5 single-tooth implants in need of maintenance, varying from abutment screw retightening to crown remake. The study did not look specifically at the incidence of abutment screw loosening.…”

3). Conclusion: The results show that abutment screw loosening is a rare event in singleimplant restorations regardless of the geometry of implant-abutment connection, provided that proper antirotational features and torque are employed. INT J ORAL MAXILLOFAC IMPLANTS 2008;23:681-690Key words: implant complications, implant geometry, meta-analysis, screw loosening, single implants T he stability of the connection between different implant parts is important for the overall success of the reconstruction. This is especially true for singletooth restorations, where a strong interlock between the abutment and implant is necessary. Various mechanisms have been proposed to connect the dental implant abutment to the implant body. Different systems vary in connection geometry, materials, and overall screw mechanics. The implant-abutment connection stability is also influenced by factors such as component fit, machining accuracy, saliva contamination, and screw preload. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Most in vitro studies, [9][10][11][12] with the exception of one, 13 have demonstrated that internal connections are more mechanically stable than external flat (hex-type) connections. Loosening of abutment screws, particularly with the "classic" external-hex implant systems, has been a well-known technical problem, occurring mainly during the first 2 years after delivery of the crown. [14][15][16][17] The stability of the external implant-abutment connection was subsequently improved by altering the screw alloys and their surfaces and applying proper torque values to establish higher initial preloads. 3,[18][19][20][21]

“…Ideal tri-dimensional positioning of dental implants, requires adequate edentulous ridge with sufficient bone thickness. 1,[4][5][6][7] According to studies, the majority of failures are associated with the supra-structure rather than with the implant itself.…”

This article describes a case report of rehabilitation of missing mandibular premolar using implant supported crown and a flapless surgery. A 23 year old female patient, with agenesis of second premolar, was referred to the department of fixed prosthodontics at Dental Clinic of Monastir. Comprehensive examination revealed that, an orthodontic treatment was set up leading to space opening. The edentulous ridge was measured and it was suitable for adequate dimensions of second premolar. The adjacent teeth were vital, free from caries and fillings. Radiographic evaluation showed the feasibility of implant placement in the edentulous site. A flapless surgery technique was performed for implant placement. The implant supported crown was cemented using Zinc phosphate cement.
