Anyone know what this is?

What is that post? is it homemade? Did Dr Paperclipstuffer restore this case? It looks like there are no threads on the abutment.. Which means theres a possibility of the implant being stripped from that wiggling. Not sure of the implant, but someone else can help you there, I would get new impression coping with a screw and make sure it has threads that catch.. if not, it needs to be possibly tapped, or removed..

I think a new healing cap would be the first thing to address.
That red tissue doesn't like the wobble of that weeble.

That looks like an old Corevent (Zimmer) castable abutment. I have some here if you need a new one...$5 million

Can the crown be saved?

i dont see a hole in that crown.

did the doc prematurely fill the hole and then realize the only way to stick it into the patient was to grind off the threading and say "never open your mouth"

?

Poor patient, I have a feeling the amount of cases like these coming back will start to get exponential.. Not only is the tissue damaged but it looks like some bone might have been lost from the wobbling.

I have nothing to contribute... but holy $h!+b@lls...

I feel bad for the patient

The Doctor isn't the one that placed this implant, he said the patient walked in with this and wanted to know if he could fix the crown. The doc said there is no screw channel in the implant and that the crown just snaps into it. He wants to know if I can make a new crown that won't wobble.

Has anyone ever seen this before? If so, do you know how to fix this problem?

 

[rkm rdt]

I would not trust a " snap in crown" unless there were bonded wings to the adjacent teeth.

Impress or scan and design a maryland style ( pfm) bridge incorporating the hex shape as a pontic.
That would be my approach.

Looks infected to me...

Let the tissue heal and grow over the implant while patient gets a temp Maryland bridge that doesn't contact the site and then forget the implant is there. Make a "permanent" Maryland bridge.

All those solutions might work, but you need to figure out what implant that is first.. get some proper parts for it, whether that be a healing abutment or whatever. Someone has to know what this is, the pt. is the first place to start, he knows who put it there.

Looks like a prefab abutment for provisionals at the time of placement. Similar to what Nobel makes. As far as the implant goes, not familiar. I would not use the abutment sent in as it is destined to fail.

How do you identify an implant when you only have an xray and a photo?

I am not expert but I would not waste time on it, because there is so many different types and sizes for implant parts. so either ask patient where they get that implant and find out from doctor's office or just spend money again do a Maryland bridge or implant.

 

[Andrew Priddy]

Yea, um... that don’t go there

 

[Andrew Priddy]

So, I’m willing to bet there are NO threads left in that implant..
if it were me, I’d verify that before doing anything. It more than likely needs to be retrieved

IMO
