I don't know. But if that was not the intention, what I'd like to know if the inability to use floss is going to create problems.Are the implant crowns fused together? Sometimes this is done to increase strength and stability of the implants.
Thanks. I had to look up interdental brushes. This is not the same as the Gum Picks, right? The interdental brushes seem to have a brush like surface, thicker than the picks. In either case they will only enter at the gum line, so from what you say I should be OK if I observe good hygiene. Is all this correct?No, it should not, if you clean with inter-dental brushes. Continue to go for your regular check-ups. The bone and gum level around the implants can then be monitored.
Thanks. Someone mentioned a TePe brush. Would this be more effective?Yes. This is correct
Which one do you recommend? ThanksTePe brushes are also a form of interdental brushes. The only have a rubber point instead of bristles.
Thanks for advice. Most important to me is that I will not have future problems if I maintain good hygiene and use TePe at the gum line of the two crowns. Why they are joined I don't know. Seems to me that they should have been returned to the lab for modification.TePe is nice, since they last longer.
Thank for your comments. I feel relieved that this is not a problem.Like I said-might be for strength and stability. It is not uncommon.
