[QUOTE="KentPWalton, post: 352886, member: 7347"] There are no welds on milled parts. They are a solid one piece part. We do not know all of the information on the part originally discussed/shown. It appears to be a UCLA abutment that was cast. The bevel where the abutment seats onto the implant appears to be polished off as well. (This particular part appears to me to be a UCLA by the color and construction/shape in the picture shown. It does not appear to be a milled abutment even though I could be wrong.) Over polishing around the bevel can cause issues with the part seating properly into the implant, micro-movement, not forming a proper seal, etc. Over-polishing can cause a plethora of issues. Also, always use the screw provided by the abutment manufacturer. All screws are not the same and should be used with the part it was sold with. For instance, one screw seat on the internal of the component may have a bevel on the shoulder where another manufacturer may have a butt joint. This is one example of parts that are often swapped out by labs and Dr.'s alike that case issues like screw loosening. Like I said, there are so many variables that cause issues that need to be talked out and discussed to get down to the root of the problem. This is true with any implant manufacturer. I suggest to always contact the manufacturer of the product and discuss and resolve the issues. This is the best avenue to get predictable/the best results. [/QUOTE]
