Submerged Implant Fixture: Is this a Problem?
Last Updated: Nov 09, 2009
Dr. K. asks:
I am restoring #8, 9 [maxillary right and left central incisors] in a middle age female patient in excellent health and with the rest of her dentition intact. I placed the implant fixtures too far subgingivally so that the top of the implant platform is 4mm cervical to the adjacent cervical margins. Is this really a problem? I have not done that many implant cases and I have not encountered this problem. Should I just go ahead and restore the case as is with custom abutments and cement retained porcelain fused to metal crowns?
