Hi all.
I have a case coming up where the patient wants impressions to be taken on #3, 5, 12, 14, 19, 29 implant sites the same day as the surgeon uncovers them because the patient has "that day off from work".
All to be single screw retained implant crowns.
What is the minimum time between uncovering implants and taking impression?
The restorative dentist sais a week is ok, the surgeon sais same day is ok.
I say the tissue should heal first. I don't want to add porcelain to fill in food traps!
Thanks in advance.
