I had to order special drivers, wrenches, scan bodies to complete this case because the previous,out of town, surgeon used a brand of implants that I wasn’t yet familiar with. Although it doesn’t look like a significant difference, the porcelain was cracking and chipped. Also, he had a purple ring of inflamed tissue that no matter how much he flossed he couldn’t get to heal that was caused from ill fitting custom abutments. We had new custom abutments fabricated and a stronger material zirconia to prevent cracking and breaking in the future. He was a wonderful, very compliant patient that was an avid flosser and nightguard wearer! I couldn’t ask for a better person to work on while we powdered through the challenges of this case.
