Can A Dental Implant Show A Gray Margin Of The Crown?

  1. Angulation of the implant was off
  2. The amalgam was plugging the head making it impossible to place a driver, remove it and, set a better one.
  3. The current crown has a recession, and the patient hates showing a dark line on top of the crown
  4. There is very little gum around the implant crown, and it’s thin.

 

 

Proposed Treatment For The Patient:

  1. Remove the implant but could create a and functional and gum.
  2. Place a connective tissue graft and re-prepare the margins of the existing abutments as high as possible and make a new crown
  3. Do nothing. Leave it as is.

 

Overall: The patient ended treatment to do a connective tissue graft to augment the gum and a new crown. A case to fix. And preparation of the abutment with the first step in our way to get her beautiful for this patient.

Conclusion: Plugging the access implant screw into the access hole with a hard material. In this case, Teflon tape will be good enough.
