      Patient had biomet 3I implant placed elsewhere. Had a cement retained crown #10. Its now completely covered by soft tissue. Any tips for removal of the screw?

      • I’ve seen Dr Huss vibrate out stuck screws with a cavitron

        • Yep, what Nathaniel sad can definitely help. Also Salvin makes a decent screw removal kit that has a bunch of goodies that can help. It’s always a pain in the butt but typically the screw comes out. Good luck!

              I have the Salvin screw removal kit… but stopped using it a while ago since I end up using the ultrasonic scaler most of the time. I find that it comes right out in about 1-3 mins. Just put on the highest setting.
