Hi,
I went to Government Dental College for Dental implant for last molar teeth(not wisdom), where they initially didn't tell that students will do the implant until the 1st surgery day itself.
And I've shared the xray of implant after 5 months from the day 1st surgery of implant was done, here abutment is also placed now.
Now after everything is done, they are telling that spacing is very less for Zirconia crown (which they initially said it will fit), and telling to go for metal crown, and also keep trimming my teeth above (which was RCT zirconia crown, which they already removed) They are putting both up and down metal crowns (bottom is implant and above is RCT treated), but I wanted zirconia. Now seeing these xrays, I feel like they have made big error in screw placement and this is causing spacing issue, but they are not admitting their mistake.
Anyone please help me here with your opinion. Should I trust those MDS students?
Thank you

Hello,
I understand your concerns.
As per the xray provided, the implant placement looks fine.
There is a tendency for the tooth opposite to a missing tooth to (supra-erupt) come down and occupy the space of the missing teeth, especially in cases where the tooth has been missing for a long time.
This could possibly be a reason for reduced space for the crowns.
Usually zirconia crowns require more space than metal crowns, and sometimes not preferred in certain situations which may lead to failure of implant in future.
Since it is a back tooth and it is not as visible, you can consider the doctor's opinion.
Next Steps
You may visit a dentist, to get the space available evaluated clinically to get a better idea.

The implant looks fine
They trim the above tooth so that you can have space for the lower crown
