OT: dental torque

I knew.
For the price of the total implant, they should give you the wrench.

Yep, my Oral Surgeon used the tiny torque wrench on my two implants recently. They both passed the torque test. Problem now was when my Dentist went to remove the healing abutments to install the two locating pins for impression taking, he stripped out one of the healing abutments. Back to Oral Surgeon to try to remove the healing abutment and he ended up having to drill then install a tiny easy out to remove. Problem now is he ended up removing the implant so back to square one. Kind of like working on old Ford's, sometimes things just do not go as planned.

Yes and they should give you more than one of those little wrenches!
