Every time I take off a healing abutment I see very red or cherry red
inflammation around the implant circumference.   I also sometimes see
this under  the pontic of 3 unit bridges.

I recently took off a healing cap placed almost 2 years and it was
there.  It doesn't extend too far, but I wonder if all implants have
this chronic inflammation.

What !? this isn't covered in your vanity book ?

Will wonders never cease ?

BTW *my* personal #8 implant has no surrounding inflammation.

How do you explain that ?
Prolly not in your vanity book either, I bet.
