Hi, Mark!  Great to hear from you too.   Yes, indeed it is a Tapered Internal Biohorizon 3.5mm.   

I will do just as you recommended.  

Thank you.

Lonny

PS- prior to pressing reply i looked on surgicalsmart.com and could not find the fixture removal kit?

Dear Lonny,

Good to hear from you.

since it is #12 , an esthetic zone, i would recommend ' distal-remote incision' .

meaning, mesial to 12, use envelop incision, and at distal line angle of #13 make an oblique vertical incision to gain access to the necessary areas of #12.

I would remove crown , then place cover screw, i-brush the area thoroughly with alot of water.  Make sure you look for any sign of implant fractures!  Im not sure what implant system that is , is it Biohorizon?. 

I have been getting quite few number of implant vertical fractures lately , especially on 3.5 diameter fixtures.  

In case, you require to remove the fixture and replant the area at the same time,  I highly recommend checking out 'universal fixture removal kit' from SurgicalSmart.com

cheers~

not really, screw retained, occlusion is good,  ,   maybe  implant placement was a bit too buccal??
