I am using Xive MP abutments,they have 2 screws ,a stronger inner one which keeps the abutment substucture in place and a small one which fixes the protheses.I have to retighten the screws about one week after insertion and then close the screw opening,usually I do it in 2 steps in 2 different sessions:
1- Removing the prosthesis, tightening the inner screw using a torque-controlled ratchet,putting the prosthesis back in place.
2- Tightening the small outer screw with the ratchet then closing the screw hole.
I am doing it in that sequence to be on the safe side, but wonder if it can be done at ounce saving a chair-side session .

How do you know your prosthesis is passive?
