We’ve compiled some of the best clinical solutions for your restorative dentistry complications. In this gallery, you’ll learn how to prevent titanium base debonding and failure, what to do if an implant screw becomes loose, why the crown the lab made doesn’t fit, and how you can get restorations from your lab that live up to your expectations. You’ll also learn how to use an implant verification jig to ensure that your screw-retained restoration framework fits on the model AND in your patient’s mouth.
