Was abutment properly seated and tightened?
Last Updated: Oct 03, 2013
Nobel Active 5.0 placed. 3 months later healing abutment placed. One month later custom abutment and screw-retained crown placed. Sharp pain when torquing to 30. Access channel closed with cotton amalgam. Three months afterward, the attached image is the result. Does it appear that the abutment-implant junction is ok?
