[QUOTE="HonestAbe, post: 346373, member: 25390"] I feel like I'm thinking about time zones or some other abstract but simple thing that I just can't wrap my head around. Had a case yesterday where I was told to pick out abutments for a screw retained implant bridge, like 19-21 (19/20 abutments with 21 cantilever). I chose two stock abutments that were non-hexed because I thought that those were the correct choice for screw retained implant bridges and the senior tech told me to switch it to hexed. He's tried explaining it to me but there's something about it that I'm just not understanding, hoping hearing it some other ways might jog that last switch in my brain so I can understand why and when to use non-hexed. I guess the essence of my question is, WHEN do I want to use non-hexed implant abutments for bridges. Is it solely determined by screw vs cement retained? [/QUOTE]
