Can impressions 10 mins after cementing two newly permanently fixed crowns affect their stability/durability?

h.refaatNov 10, 2017
Ihad 3 emax crowns temporarily fixed for 1 year as the plan was to relength them after removing the lower braces Last Wed we had removed them to be modified in the clinic's lab. As per the prosthodontist one of them has been damaged (I don't know wat can damage it) so he permanently cemented two crowns,waited for 10 mins then took new impressions for the the third one. Can this impressions affect the newly cemented two crowns ? the impressions were taken via this sticky colored plastosine

Hi:Sorry to hear about your pain.  There is a possibility of cracked tooth.  It is difficult to see the crack on X-ray, sometime exploratory surgery is necessary to find out if the tooth is cracked.  Best,Dr. Maddahi

Hi: Most likely the abutment is loose and can be easily tightened up.  It’s best to go back to your dentist right away to tighten the abutment before there is too much pressure on the implant itself.Best,Dr. Maddahi

It is perfectly safe to have your crown placed. If your temporary stays off for an extended period of time your permanent crown may not fit. I suggest getting in to the office asap.
