[QUOTE="ddsTech, post: 295737, member: 1467"] I do a lot of reading, and if any of the reputable sources I read had stated the issue as plainly as what you guys have explained, I wouldn't have needed to ask the question. Based on all of your posts, it makes sense to me now and I was over-complicating things. Thanks very much for taking the time to make it clear. Seeing the color pictures of failed implant bridges makes me want to do everything right. Right. I just need to make sure the Dr knows that the bridge and abutments won't be retrievable as one unit once it's cemented in place (with the engaging elements left on). The screw access holes could be confusing, though. It will have the appearance of being screw-retained. That's a tricky one and I'd rather not name names because I can't be 100% sure that operator error isn't a factor. I've had 4 single-unit implant cases where the screws either wouldn't engage at all or came loose within a few days. [/QUOTE]
