Asked By:sasie94 in Italy, IT

Hello, I attached a radiograph of my dental implant. I have a severe inflammation coming from the implant but my dentist said the crown and implant is perfectly fine. I'm not a doctor but according to me there are gaps between implant , the abutment and the crown. Could it be the source of the inflammation? Could you please share your opinion?
