    Immediate #7

    Thoughts on angulation, depth, F/L position? I feel like its too deep, but wanted to at least be bone level on the lingual. Use his old crown as a temp if I achieve enough torque?

    Could tip apical lingually and go cementable

    In planned position, the apical third awfully close to the cortical plate.

    This is a 3.75 x 13. Will be placing…

    • This is a neodent Helix aqua. Was curious about a 3.3 Roxolid using smile in a box as well. The last time I did this, I lost quite a bit of buccal plate.

    • Hi all, I just discovered this community and this first post.

      This healing cap was in place for 5 months. I couldn’t get it out through conventional means, and stripped the threads trying.

      Then I had the brilliant idea to review the radiograph, and it appears to be bent?

      The split image shows a comparison between when I placed it in March, and how…

      • there are some bioceramic implants like zirconia

        • Yes! Zirconia is the safest route , since titanium implants always have trace amounts of other metals, as far as I know.

          If the patient doesn’t want zirconia (cost is higher), you can contact implant companies to request a report. They should be able to tell you what metals they use and percentages.

          • If I were you I’d invest in Ivan’s All-On-X course. It has everything you’ll ever need to know. This is not a paid ad lol.

          • Hoping for some feedback here as I am fairly new in my implant journey and have had a couple failures lately that I cannot understand.

            Placed this implant a few weeks ago on healthy patient site #30. Surgery went very smooth, with sequential osteotomies and implant torquing out at 40N/cm. Patient comes back three weeks later and implant…

            • EDIT: Patient returned today to have implant removed. Removal went fine. But the bigger point is that we found out the issue in this case. Unknown to me, patient is a heavy bruxer had been wearing an orthodontic retainer that was applying significant vertical and lateral force to the implant healing cap. Obviously, this lateral force cause…

            • Hello Docs,

              Looking for some feedback and advices. #21 was extracted and placed immidate 4.1×12. I know I needed to go 2-3 mm beyond the apex, however, I didn’t have the correct length. The final torque was about 20 NCM. Bone graft was added and collagen plug and sutured with chromic gut. Please evaluate the radiographs and advise. When should I…

              • Update for those interested on the case I posted about not too long ago.

                We went with custom milled locators from TruAbutment to angle correct. The case turned out really well!
