Thank you, Doctor, for the information. The material that is placed on the head of the screw when installing the crown means the end of the work. If this material falls, will it affect the implant? Thanks
are there stock abutments that a dentist can place so that another dentist with no implant experience can simply do an impression like doing an impression on a real tooth? and then cement the delivered crown to the abutment?
Yes, that can be done with virtually any stock abutment. The downside is that if the margins are subgingival, they are more difficult to capture than on a tooth prep.
@@OBrienDentalLab what is the name of the method of a general dentist with no implant experience doing a conventional impression on an existing abutment?
@@mikehascats26 It's called "abutment level impression". I usually tell the doctor they will be taking the impression in the same manner as a tooth prep.
My implant crown broke after 4 years of having it , without looking at it the dentist says I would need to change both the abutment and the crown which is more costly as I am paying out of pocket … is this the normal process or should they only be replacing the broken crown? I feel the abutment replacement is unnecessary but I’m also not the professional so I would easily lose that argument with them and have to pay the $1500 for both
My crown keeps coming loose every couple months. My dentist is blaming my teeth grinding. Is that right for teeth grinding to loosen the screws in a matter of a month or 2 months.
Some studies have shown that parafunctional habits (such as teeth grinding) can lead to screw loosening. Here is one as an example: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6994738/
My dentist instead of utilizing the traditional impressions with plaster or whatever they use this time they use a digital scanner in my mouth and my upper prosthetic fits extremely perfect tight snug with no wiggle room just seems to have fixed the issue with it loosening up
Hi. Not sure if you can help but I’m a little desperate. My dentist put the wrong size abutment on one of my implants & now can’t get it off. Have you ever heard of that happening?? Any suggestions would be truly appreciated.
Have you talked to your dentist about this? If they aren't able to help you, I would suggest finding another dentist or prosthodontist in your area to help you out.
My 10 yr old implant is loose. My dentist can't find out what screw was used nor the what brand of implant driver. How can he fix my implant if he can't remove the screw?

No, a failure of the restorative materials will not typically affect the implant.

Would you recommend continuing to trust them or go and get other dentist opinions on this situation

top as always, thumbs up!
Thank you!
how often do you get orders for bridges with very high margins? for example, 5mm supragingival?
It is common to get requests for 1-2mm supragingival margins, but I don't recall ever getting a request for 5mm.
Hello I have upper and lower hybrid implants (dentures) and just the upper keeps loosing any recommendations or advise

did you ever find the answer here, I'm in a similar situation!?
@@ShipOfAlbion Had to track down the old dentist myself. Then my current dentist was able to order the correct tool.
you should fabricate a crown to be cemented onto a tall stock healing abutment. i bet it would work. it would make a very interesting video
That's an interesting idea, but it wouldn't be an FDA approved workflow so it's not something we would do.
