Do not worry, I was taken back a pit, we are all friends. I needed to explain because I thought you misunderstood my post. I fabricate these kind of implants everyday. Some of them you look at and scratch your head and do and fix the best way possible.Yes, thanks Tayeb...it's just that now seeing the photo Riley posted (#17),changed my perspective a bit.
Edit: Tayeb, I hope I didn't sound like I had my hands on my hips calling you out in my previous post# 13. Sometimes I don't word things to well.
i don't like hiossen. Anyways
A doctor sends me case and he orders the abutment. It's gold anodized at margin. Problem is margin is above the gum line and it's just a ledge of a margin so I can't cut it down right? What do I do with this thing?

I would personally leave that margin right where it is. It's on lingual so esthetics doesn't matter. And Im not so sure you can make it more hygienic....even if you do I don't think it will make a clinical difference. Just my two cents....I'd be mostly interested in hearing what the treating doctor thinks.
Its one of the biggest problems on these fixtures when the dr does not do his job and sink the implant appropriately for the fixture he is using.
Hiossen makes a 1mm and a 3mm cuff on the majority of their abutments and I could tell that this was the 1mm, just be glad this a is a post. unit
The work around as many has stated is to prep that high lip flat over extend the margin and your gold.
Tissue may not change but chances are pretty good it will. When the surgeon placed it....it could have been deeper then it appears now....any infections or healing complications can cause bone and gingival recession that could have finally stabilized at this level.The tissue will fill/fall in there almost right after insert. Give it 2 weeks of the patient keeping it clean and it will be fine. Just a supra gingival lingual margin. I see your point though. custom would have been better but old DR gotta stack that paper!
That area may be nitrite coated rather than anodized??Another question. That gold colored section of the abutment...when I anodize the entire abutment that section gets a kind of corroded film on it. What's the story there?
Can you polish away the nitrite coating, then anodize the abutment?That area may be nitrite coated rather than anodized??
Probably, haven't tried it though. Nitrite coating is really thin, but a bit more durable than anodizing.Can you polish away the nitrite coating, then anodize the abutment?
I can polish it off. Sounds like it's nitrite. I called a Hio distributor last week and all they'd said is that they are Ti abutments and I could anodize. Didn't mention what the gold section was.Probably, haven't tried it though. Nitrite coating is really thin, but a bit more durable than anodizing.
