Tightening the Crown on an Implant
Last Updated: Sep 05, 2006
The threaded collar under my dental implant crown will not remain tight. Therefore, my crown rotates on the implant (which is approx. ten years old, with a round body).
It has been tightened repeatedly and will not remain tight. Is there a preferred method for locking the threaded portion to the dental implant? I would greatly appreciate your advice.
