As a follow-up for my last curator journal I continue looking at the thought process behind two anterior implant abutments that snapped off. Based on some follow-up questions after the last post I realized that before discussing the different abutments and materials I have to think about "Why?" I chose what I did in this case. Sometimes we do the same things case after case and every time we should ask "why" are we doing it this way, with these materials in this particular case is a critical first step.
