[QUOTE="user name, post: 262659, member: 1719"] Got a call from a Doctor. New patient shows up with a cement retained implant supported crown. Crown wiggles. The implant was placed, and restored at a large well known dental college at an upper Midwest University. First step...call the University and check the patients record to see what was placed. They know the implant, but no record of what abutment was used. Doctor was hoping to be able to just order a new screw. Doctor was busy so sent the patient to a surgeon to have access hole cut and recover the screw. No barrier was placed to protect the screw head before the crown was cemented. Screw got obliterated. Patient doesn't think he should have to pay for a new abutment/crown. And WE'RE unskilled. [/QUOTE]
