Loose abutment screw on unknown implant?
Last Updated: Sep 30, 2019
I have been sent a patient with a loose abutment screw on the distal implant (tooth 46). The implant is over 10-years old – placed in the UK. I haven’t seen the patient before – (I can see CBL on 45 and the spacing is odd). At this stage, I am trying to work out the manufacturer so I can figure out a compatible driver and likely torque for the abutment screw so we can consider replacements once other factors have been checked. Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
