[QUOTE="npdynamite, post: 354900, member: 11802"] Can't necessarily tell what might have caused this from the pictures, but here are the first questions I would be asking. Was it properly torqued? Was the screw ever previously brought up to torque? Do you have a radiograph to confirm that it was fully seated? Is the packaging you took the picture above that of the part? If so I would guess its 3rd party? Are you certain that the screw the exact right one for the part? If 3rd party screw seats can be designed differently. If all of those are answered and everything looks good then I would guess it was a faulty screw. Also, can't tell from the picture, is the octagon on the abutment deformed? If so that could indicate it was loose for some time before breaking, which would point to torque. It could also mean that the design was slightly off and the doctor forced it rather than making a phone call and that could be a cause, that would be my least likely guess though [/QUOTE]
