I’ve read the articles from the implant manufacturers claiming that third party parts will lead to failures, but I do agree with you it’s unlikely to see a failure from a third party part. What about specifically the zimmer to bio horizons connection? Cuz that’s what I am worried about, with the fact one has a one degree taper and one doesn’t, and the zimmer conical connection doesn’t have the same height as biohorizons I worry that can definetly be a cause for concern, even more so than third party parts? As far as that conical connection not being snug, and providing an opportunity for bacteria and early implant failure? I just wanta know if that’s a legitimate concern or if it’s unlikely to happen?Some 3rd party parts will have a similar warrenty to the OEM part to help give labs and Dr's the confidence to use them. I think in reality you are almost never going to see an implant fail do to a 3rd party abutment. Also I think we are only talking about FDA cleared parts though Illidan has a point with some labs manufacturing without proper FDA complience/approval, but I feel like thats a slightly seperate issue. So in general the parts should be good to go and should not lead to failure. So to add to what Brett said, I think the biggest thing that can happen, which this whole thread highlites is if you aren't being honest about what you are using, when people inevitably find out whether through failure or observation they will lose trust in you and you will lose clients
