What are the causes that make an implant healing cap fall out - get unscrewed?

Miryam Ishak
Can the gingiva make the healing abutment fall out if it was too tightly stitched? If the gingiva has closed over the implant and patient is travelling. What are the consequences of leaving the implant with no healing cap?
