I have a RC Straumann in a spot where a WN should be.
Prosthodontist was telling my Dr that it was done to save the bone (Platform Shift).
As I understand with Platform Shift it is just engaging the implant with an abutment at a higher level than the platform of the implant in order to save bone loss???
Not sure if that statement is correct. Never done one like this before.
Am I ordering a regular RC Variobase and building a massive crown on that small abutment or is there something else I should be ordering?
Of course my Straumann rep has gone MIA.
Thanks
