. Needless to say I couldnt fully seat the crown because the patient was in too much pain. The tissue blanched white on both sides all the way down. The screw in crown sure doesnt look over contoured on the model. Anyone have this issue? I sent the patient back to the surgeon for an oversized healing abutment to hopefully stretch the gum to give more room. If not I guess it goes back to the lab to under contour the crown. Radiograph would help!
