Dental implants that have been in place for more than 6 months without a crown may lead to undesirable consequences such as peri-implant gingival hyperplasia and elongation of the opposing jaw teeth.
1. Gingival hyperplasia around the implant: the hyperplastic gingival tissue will be completely excised, the gingival end of the implant will be exposed, the excess bone will be removed, the healing abutment will be placed, and then the crown will be put on.
2. Maxillary teeth elongation: if the dental implant is not worn for more than 6 months, there is a lack of occlusal contact between the dental implant and the maxillary teeth, the maxillary teeth gradually elongate, resulting in a shorter intermaxillary distance, poor retention of the dental implant crowns, and the crowns are easy to come off, in order to avoid the implant crowns from falling off, the need to adjust the grinding of the mandibular teeth, which may cause tooth sensitivity and so on.
Dental implants for more than 6 months without wearing the crown may also have other adverse effects, it is best to follow the doctor’s advice to wear the crown in time, so that dental implants play a better role.
