[QUOTE="ddsTech, post: 295687, member: 1467"] Hey everyone, I've restored a lot of single unit implant cases for my doctors, but not implant bridges until recently. This is an anterior case with 2 Atlantis custom abutments on an Astra Tech TX 4.0mm platform. The implants are divergent and flared. The bridge will be cemented, but will have angulated screw channel access holes in case the screws come loose. The implant screw channels would exit through the incisal edges without the angled channels. Different reputable sources say either that you [U]always[/U] want to use all non-engaging abutments on implant-supported bridgework, or you can use one non-engaging and one engaging, or leave them both engaging. Very confusing..... What has been your experience over the years with this issue? I'm wondering if I should cut off the engaging elements or leave them on? Mark [/QUOTE]
