Hello hope all is well !
I don’t have much experience in implants but why you don’t take a cbct first ? To see exactly what is happening? Is only the HA loose? I am sure you will know the difference but just a thought!

Dr. started the discussion #20 implant in the forum Complications 2 days ago
Hi, this implant was placed in June 2024. I have 3PAs (one from day of placement, one month later, and 9 month later). The intraoral picture of the soft tissue is from yesterday and tissue looks great… patient has no discomfort/pain either. She did have some discomfort between 2-3rd week after placement but subsided after taking…

This patient wants implants. We just finished treating her periodontal disease and she is ready for the next phase, however, she has severe bite collapse. In addition, she has uneven ridge in the upper anterior, which would make it challenging esthetically. I asked her dentist to make her a partial denture but the patient kept going back…

You’re right, the bite collapse and the uneven ridge in the upper anterior make things tricky. It’s understandable the patient struggled with the partial denture, especially with the adjustments.
Absolutely, orthodontics is something you should be considering, but it’s not the first step. We need to really figure out where we’re going before… Read more

When to bonegraft?
Pt came in with swelling and failing RCT with fracture. Pt has been dealing with it for 2 years. When do you forgo socket preservation? I am worried about any graft failing and may be better to go back in after infection clears up and extraction of tooth.
Thoughts?
-
You can either try to remove all of the infection (consider degranulating with a bur) if you have all four walls present, of you can extract/degranulate as much as possible, and then go back 2-3 weeks later to do the bone graft.

Pt has had #29-#31 implant placed 30 years ago, #30 and #29 in good functional condition. #31 hasnt had functional crown for last 10 years. has kept ” failling off”
Fractured/ flowered implant collar? abutment is loose, looks like possible fractured screw.
Is removing the only reccomended treatment for #31 implant for this case at this stage?

Hey joseph, I have some good recommendations for you here. Not sure what you mean that it hasnt had a “functional crown.”
The way to really dig in here is to remove the abutment and see what’s going on. I would DEFINTELY warn the patient that its not guaranteed to work, but that you are doing exploring to get to the cause.
It might be a…

I always suggest find out from the lab you are sending your scans to is there preferred scanner. Some might prefer one over the other.

I am a general dentist who is fairly new in my implant journey. The previous owner placed quite a few implants and is adamant that a prophylactic antibiotic (often a course of amoxicillin starting the day before the procedure) is imperative and necessary.
I have found literature on both sides of this issue. I am curious to hear others opinions…

I usually do a loading dose and then a week of antibiotic. I also like to give either 8mg of dexamethasone (If not a diabetic) right before the appointment. In larger implant cases I will give loading dose of antibiotic day before (continue for week afterwards) and medrol dose pack (non-diabetics) the day before. It may be overkill but I think…

Hi Tanner,
I’m at a similar spot as you are so I can’t speak with years of personal experience. I decided for the time being to follow this protocol from Misch’s Contemporary Implant Dentistry. At the end of the day for liability it gives me something to turn to in case I need to justify my decision making.3- View 2 replies

Reply to Creation of lateral window for sinus augmentation
Lateral window sinus lifts are indicated when there’s 3 mm or less of residual bone height. In this case, you may still be able to go intracrestal for these lifts.
However, yes, if you do have a bony window you can leave it attached to the membrane when you elevate. It’s basically added bone graft!
I haven’t used those kits so I couldn’t tell…
