Hi guys, I have a problem with an implant that I placed three months ago. bone was good, my torque 45 nm, the patient does not smoke, what could be the cause of this situation
Can1 Comment-
two things to possibly consider if you see bone loss before loading.
1.) possible over-torquing or compression necrosis during placement
2.) overheating of bone during prep
of course a third option..
3.) some other factor we dont know and havent considered (i know real helpful right?)
probably/maybe 1 of first two but very difficult to know…

Posterior implant placement with a surgical guide: a case that highlighted the value of precision, even in favorable conditions.
This patient had abundant posterior bone, which made planning and execution straightforward but no less important. Here are the lessons reinforced during this case:

I agree. You should be good if the implant has enough bone support. However, I would mention the deficient gum support to the patient and show him/her with visuals, then document in your notes that options were given about potential outcomes down the way.

Hey guys. Last week, while I was in the middle of a FBI #17 case I noticed something interesting. I laid my flap and I saw this structure. Can you guess what it is?
It’s an extra nerve exiting from the bone!
In this case, you can decide whether to sever the nerve or work around it. It reminded me a lesson I learned sometime back – if you don’t…

Distance between implants? Do we still keep 3 mm of bone between implants?
-
The guideline of maintaining 3 mm between them is still widely recommended.
Bone Health: Keeping 3 mm of bone between implants helps prevent bone loss. If implants are too close, it can lead to complications like bone resorption, which can jeopardize the stability of both implants.
Soft Tissue Support: Adequate spacing is essential… Read more -
That is what i figured, thank you!

When it comes to bone grafting, there are a few options like demineralized bone allograft (DBA), freeze-dried bone allograft (FDBA), and synthetic calcium phosphate (like Augma Bondapatite).
– DBA: This is human bone that’s had the minerals taken out, which makes it great for bone growth because may actually help recruit your body’s own cells…

Regarding use PRF for B/MRONJ – not enough data out there to call that standard of care. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8140838/

Dentoalveolar surgery is probably the major risk factor for MRONJ and for other complications following a tooth extraction, especially in patients affected by systemic diseases. The aim of this retrospective study is to evaluate whether a PRF plug ...
