Dr. Charles Mastrovich Implant Mechanical Rescue (IMR) Dentistry is fully dedicated to, and focused on, implant mechanical rescue, which means we are able to retrieve broken abutment screws and abutments, with a high degree of clarity and ease. We do this through the use of a high-powered operative microscope (which most dentists do not have) to view inside the implant. The operating microscope enables Dr. Mastrovich to visualize inside the implant in a manner not necessarily visible with lower magnification. He then uses a combination of specially designed instruments to remove the fractured components, screws, and abutments without further damaging the implant.

๐Ÿ’ฌ "Dr. Mastrovich and his team provide the most excellent care. From the point I was referred to his office by my dentist, Valerie worked with me to retrieve all the information needed to remove a damaged part of an implant. Thanks to California regulations, all my old records were still on file with my previous doctors (even after more than 2 decades). Armed with my current and historic records and his detailed knowledge of the 90+ implants approved by the FDA, Dr. Mastrovich was able to identify the type of implant, understand what was needed to remove the broken piece without damaging the actual implant. That success will allow me to return in full-confidence to my dentist to complete the job." - Judy L...........

๐ŸŽฅ IMR: Why My #1 Tool Is the Microscope....
Discover why the clinical microscope is Dr. Mastrovichโ€™s #1 tool for successful implant mechanical rescue procedures.....
When youโ€™re working inside an implant on a small, broken screw, seeing the details matters.

In this video, Dr. Charlie Mastrovich explains why he relies on 16โ€“25ร— magnification for IMR and how a microscope allows him to see and understand the nuances of each caseโ€”not simply see the problem.

For him, IMR is a microsurgical approach, where visualization and precision go hand in hand.

He also discusses the practical considerations of incorporating a microscope into your practice, including cost, clinical use, and developing the skills to work comfortably under magnification.

Whether you're considering IMR training or simply want to better understand what the procedure requires, this video offers valuable perspective on the importance of visualization.

See it. Understand it. Work with greater precision.

๐Ÿ’ฌ "I traveled a long distance to see Dr. Mastrovich because of his rare expertise in Implant Mechanical Rescue (IMR), and I am so glad I did. I had a fractured abutment screw in a new implantโ€”a complex situation that required a true specialist.

Dr. Mastrovich successfully removed the screw, and also he patiently explained to me the likely reasons for why the screw failed, using mechanical models to demonstrate what can happenโ€” and provided ideas to help me advocate for a restoration that accounts for these complexities. He didn't just remove a fractured screw; he gave my implant its best possible chance at a long-term future.

A heartfelt thank you to Valerie and Lori for their kindness and professionalism. They made a stressful situation feel manageable from start to finish. If you have a broken implant screw, Dr. Mastrovich and his team are the gold standard." - Mimi W..........

๐ŸŽฅ IMR: What to Do & What to Avoid....
In this video, Dr. Mastrovich takes a practical look at approaching Implant Mechanical Rescue based on your education, visualization, tooling, and experience.....
When encountering a broken implant screw or abutment, the right approach isnโ€™t always about using more technology. In many cases, basic hand instruments and proper visualization can provide a controlled starting point.

But knowing what NOT to do is just as important.

Dr. Mastrovich explains the concerns with unguided rotary instruments and internal ultrasonic useโ€”and why an attempt to help can sometimes make a difficult case even more challenging.

His advice is straightforward: diagnose carefully, work within your capabilities, know when to stop, and refer when appropriate.

Better decisions start with better understanding.

๐ŸŽฅ Could Implant Mechanical Rescue be right for you?

Before you reach for another instrument, itโ€™s important to know what youโ€™re trained, equipped, and prepared to do.

In this short video, Dr. Mastrovich breaks down the factors doctors should consider when deciding whether IMR belongs in their practice - from education and visualization to tooling, technique, and knowing when to stop.

IMR isnโ€™t about trying harder. Itโ€™s about seeing the case clearly, understanding your options, and knowing your limits.

Some cases may be straightforward. Others may require more advanced training, equipment, or referral.

The first step is simply deciding if IMR is right for you.
