Özet: Screw complications may not lead to implant failures, but they are significant in relation to the amount of repair needed, time, and cost to both the clinician and patient in private practice. For submerged healing, the closure screws are particularly recommended in dental implant procedures. However screw loosening occurs after the placement of dental implants continuously over time as a result of fatigue, stress or inadequate torque. The purpose of this case report is to evaluate the closure screw loosening complication the single-molar peri-implant mucosa mimicking periimplant mucositis. A 38-year-old male presented with swelling and suppuration around left mandibular single-molar implants 4 weeks after implant placement. A radiograph indicated that the closure screw loosening occurred, the implant had not peri-implant bone loss. After the surgical removal of the closure screw, a healing cap was placed. The symptoms reduced after treatment. At the 6-month follow-up, there were no mechanical or biological complications
