After cementation of the crown (Fig.7 C) with the thin abutment (*), the patient feels that the crown has mobility.  The crown in fact has no clinical mobility; it cannot be removed.  After occlusal equilibrium, the patient does not feel the same.  The thin 1-piece implant must flex under heavy occlusion.  The patient is a bruxer.
