Stability Challenges with TiBase Abutments in Dental Implant Restorations
Mastrovich Implant Mechanical Rescue Dentistry shares Stability Challenges with TiBase Abutments in Dental Implant Restorations.
Implant Mechanical Rescue (IMR) is simply the process of recovering or rescuing a case which has suffered a mechanical failure in the supporting implant hardware. Failure can occur for various reasons but if it does, it can involve retrieving fractured screws or abutments, or other components. Additionally, if possible, the central question of ‘why did it fail’, needs to be forensically determined so future repeat failure can be avoided.
Our main goals are:
(A) to help patients who are in need of qualified care for implant mechanical failure; and (B) to help dentists successfully diagnose the problem and treat the situation, or refer to a qualified dentist. (Dentists may experience difficulty with implant mechanical failure in their own cases or in new cases presented upon referral.)

Our main goals are (A) to help dentists who have experienced difficulty with implant mechanical failure, either in their own cases or presented upon referral, to successfully diagnose the problem and treat the situation to the level expertise or refer to a qualified dentist and (B) patients who are in need of qualified care.
Component system failure can potentially be caused by one or more scenarios including contact between teeth (occlusal design), patient based failure, a random event, implant manufacture defects, or accuracy in design of the case. Our team is trained to assist you in gathering information up front in order to help determine if the implant, screw or abutment is broken and what attempts were already made to resolve the problem. Dr. Mastrovich has experience with over 1500 cases that support his efforts to decrease failure and increase success.
With over 1500 cases successfully performed since 2009, on over 38 implant systems, Dr. Mastrovich is sought after for guest lectures and training. He has lectured to dental study clubs, as well as the larger groups of several hundred dentists to more than a thousand each of the times he has spoken at the Academy of OsseoIntegration. For both dental professionals and patients, Dr. Mastrovich has the ability to present his cutting-edge findings, algorithms and techniques in an accessible and understandable format with relatable examples and case studies.
Our goal is to establish a network of dental practices that have committed the effort to position themselves so they can be a “center of referral” for these cases and be highly predictable in the outcomes by utilizing appropriate tooling, microscope visualization, and access to certain precision tooling when needed. Additionally, only the practices involved will be reporting their cases to a common database for statistical analysis of what field, venues, and recovery system used. If many practices are reporting, the database could be large enough to have statistically meaningful data.

Uncovering Trends in Implant Mechanical Rescue: Insights from Over 1,300 Cases by Dr. Charles Mastrovich.
What a nice man. I could tell he really loves his job. He was excellent at explaining what he was doing as he did the procedure. After he was finished he gave me a professorial presentation on what he had done. Everyone in the off was very friendly!
I have to say first off that the whole experience was great. Valerie, Lori, and Charles were very easy to talk to and deal with, not an issue with anything, great personalities and very easy to talk and banter with. The actual work I needed done, removing a broken abutment from an implant that I had installed 10+ years ago was why I was there. The implant Dr’s and Specialists I saw in Georgia when it broke didn’t have any real solution to seeing what was actually broken and how to remove it. So I opted to wait until I returned to Ca and figure it out from there. To my great fortune Dr. Mastrovich is “THE” Specialist for this type or problem for the whole country, and he was very easy to get an appointment scheduled. All of the communication was great, and easy to get them the info they needed and they were great getting back to me for what I wanted or needed to know.
The procedure itself went great, no pain, no issues at all. When we looked at how small and tiny the pieces were after Charles removed them all you can understand why he needs the microscope he uses for this. I left their practice and now the next phase is the easy part, new abutment and new teeth again!! I will be happy to be able to smile once again!! Thank you guys!! I really appreciate you and all you do for your patients!! 🙂
I highly recommend Mastrovich Dentistry. Dr. Mastrovich is knowledgeable and goes the extra mile. He helps people with complicated implant issues and I’m grateful he’s here! Also, his manager, Valerie is very organized and super nice. a good experience all around. Thanks so much Charlie and Valerie!
I saw Dr. Mastrovich today and had no idea what to expect, and leaned towards ‘I hope this works.’ Turns out to have been the very best I could have ever hoped for.
He and his staff were the pros we all want to work with and I’d give Dr. Mastrovich 10 stars instead of just 5 if I could.
Dr. Mastrovich and Valerie are a wonderful team. We’re lucky to have them here in San Diego. I can’t recommend them highly enough. Dr. Mastrovich can fix implants that no one else can. He came highly recommended from my top notch prosthodonist and didn’t disappoint. I trust this office. And they are such nice and caring people as well.
Knowledgeable. Wonderful. Expert.
