[QUOTE="chris@maydentalarts.com, post: 146062, member: 6554"] Our philosophy is to try to restore original on original when possible. As long as the screw is cared for at the bench and not loaded it will perform as designed. The bigger concern is damage to the screw head itself. Usually inexperience or laziness I see other techs grabbing any driver near by to tighten or remove the screw (a worn unigrip will remove just about any screw except Ankylos). They shove it down into the abutment hoping to get a bite of the screw and move on. This is where a lab screw is most beneficial, to protect the screw from lab damage like wrong/worn driver, sandblasting, dirt, cross threading etc. I work with a highly trained and talented team and they know what will set me off, a damaged screw which is as bad as a lost screw.
