I'm sure everyone gets those cases with less than desirable implant placement but I am trying to find what the acceptable protocol is for some of these situations. The case below was lingually placed and was slightly above tissue level. When I try to do these with the margin flush with the implant on the facial, it seems patients always have food pack problems. So I started bulking them out almost like they are a pontic. I don't like doing it this way but it seems I am caught between a rock and a hard place.
When I have supra gingival margins as a result of the doc not doing bone level placement, they want them bulked out ...kind of like an apple on a stick.
Does anybody have any specific guidelines for these situations? I really don't like doing these things like this.
