      If you would excuse me I would to share a post as this is my first day in the community which figures to be a great community ❤️🙏🏻

      Some of the most rookie mistakes can be a fractured screw of an abudment. It’s really annoying but that involves in some cases. Let’s say you made a perfect All on X case with perfect prothesis all good 👍🏻 till now. The patient then come or call upon the clinic well , hello doc i have something moving in my mouth 👄 well that’s can cause dizziness to your excellency 😂😂

      That’s called a screw loosening, so we screw it again with higher torque but that can lead to a situation mentioned here in the picture. A simple advice choosing from billions of implant systems that you buy an implant with something called Cold welding “morse taper effect” so the abutment guaranteed to be fixed with the implant without the screw making the screw a helping effect in this situation.

      Notice the Crestal bone loss after year for the decent doctor who was asking❤️.

      And thanks 🙏🏻

      Sorry if it was a long post. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃

      • Thank you for sharing Mohamed! For those of us who might not understand the first picture. Can you tell us what that is? Is it an abutment that is cold welded to the implant?

        Love

          @ivan-chicchon I don’t want to shock you, but that’s a fractured abutment screw due to excess force applied by the Torque wrench. You would be asking what da hell and how did you get that out of the implant fixture???!

          Well that would be another post and i will explain the technique, how i managed to extract that part out of the implant and placed the crown again .A very terrifying story could be more terrifying than a broken fragment of a ridge splitting 😅😅

          Wow

          • @Wemo got it! I understand now. Yes I am intrigued! How did you get that screw out of the implant! 🙂 I have used some screw removal tools, but your case looks especially challenging!
