ACJ Quiz – Dental Implants 01

The X-ray displays a healing abutment, which is crucial for shaping the gum tissue around the implant before the final prosthetic abutment and crown are placed.

The X-ray reveals a tissue-level implant and a faulty restoration, indicated by a gap showing the crown is not properly seated. There is no bone loss evident, as normally the prosthetic platform for tissue-level implants is positioned approximately 2 mm above the bone.

In a two-step implant surgery, a cover screw is initially placed when the fixture is submerged for a few months. Following this period, a second entry is made, and the cover screw is replaced with a healing abutment.

The implant is at bone level, with the prosthetic abutment visible above it. Platform switching, defined by the size difference between the abutment and fixture, is apparent. The fixture is positioned almost parallel to the adjacent tooth, maintaining proper spacing.

Remember that Healing abutments are available in various shapes and sizes, chosen according to the specific case requirements and the dentist's preference.

The X-ray displays a bone-level implant, lacking the platform-switching feature and exhibiting bone loss. The prosthetic (not healing) abutment is visible, and particular attention should be paid to the fixture platform, which is the line separating the fixture from the abutment.

The X-ray clearly demonstrates the platform switching feature, which leads to the diagnosis of a bone-level implant. There is an absence of bone loss, and peri-implant mucositis cannot be determined through radiographic assessment.

Implants are bone-level with platform switching. Both peri-implantitis and peri-implant mucositis are clinical terms and cannot be diagnosed from an X-ray. Connected implant-supported crowns are present, but not a bridge.

Implants replacing lower molars should be centrally placed to maintain proper distance from adjacent teeth. In this case, the implant is too close to tooth #3.5 and too far from tooth #3.7, basically it was placed in the space of the mesial root of the tooth # 3.6. This misalignment can lead to a long cantilever on the distal end of the prosthesis, resulting in food entrapment and excessive force on the implant fixture.

All implants are at bone level, with a long screw hole. The leftmost implant shows evidence of peri-implant bone loss. Additionally, there are connected crowns and an implant bridge present.

The cemented crowns are connected and exhibit no excess cement. The bone-level implants lack a platform-switching feature.

The crown is over-contoured, and there is no evidence of a screw-retained crown.
