Patients says her Atlantis crown is clicking and loose. What should I do?

December 6th, 2013
Q.

Hello and thank you for allowing question. I fitted an Atlantis crown on an Astratech implant on my patient last friday. today she was in the practice and telling me that she heard a click and that the crown was moving. I checked the crown and it was not loose but very slight movement . I would like to know what has gone wrong and what to do next in such a case? can it be that the abutment is not tightened properly? will i need toget the patient back to try to unscrew the abutment for a fix? or cut the crown and unscrew the abutment? i would be grateful for some advise in this case

I don’t understand how the implant is placed. Can you explain it for me please?

July 27th, 2011
Q.
I don\’t understand how an implant is placed. Does the dentist replace the root also? Or does it go directly into the jaw bone? Can the root of the tooth be re-made rather than having to go through bone grafting etc etc?,
