[QUOTE="lcmlabforum, post: 315557, member: 3238"] Just FYI - that image showed some closely positioned vertical struts - so that suggested it is an EV - which have a unique connection that prevents at custom abutment from seating fully if not properly aligned. The images was only from one angle - so if those closely spaced struts go all around, that would more likely be NOT the new EV, but the Astra Osseospeed 3.0. If I remember correctly, the 3.0 has gold or yellow colored impression posts and analog. That one looks too narrow to be the 4.0 . . . Do look up the actual catalog to familiarize yourself. [URL unfurl="true"]https://assets.dentsplysirona.com/flagship/en/explore/implantology/implant-systems/astra-tech-implant-system/documents/IMP-Product-catalog-Astra-Tech-Implant-System-32671191-USX-1904.pdf#page=6&zoom=auto,-83,703[/URL] I am still inclined to think it is an EV . . . but again, I don't see a good reason why the surgeon cannot provide a surgical report indicating what implant was placed, maybe the restoring DDS is not comfortable discussing that much into the details, but that should be front and center before providing an Rx to the lab. And if this was made by another lab, and you now inherit it for some reason, I would hesitate to use someone else's abutment to take on the responsibility for restoring that restoration. Just my 2 cents. LCM [/QUOTE]
