Optimal vs Realistic Healing Times
In dental school, I was taught I needed to wait a minimum of 3 months after extraction/socket grafting before site was “healed” or “stable” and ready for implant placement. Roughly the same timeline for implant placement in preparation for the restoration.
As a newer provider, I don’t have a ton or reps under my belt but I am anecdotally…

Great points for discussion.
Osseointegration is not a standardized “oven timer” process; bone healing and growth are governed by a complex interplay of factors ranging from the defect size to the patient’s systemic health. In the real world, 3 months is often just the baseline. If you’re seeing “mushy” bone at 12 weeks, your intuition is…

Reply to Implant lost in max sinus 🙁
Welcome to the “club” no one wants to join, but every seasoned surgeon eventually does! Honestly, the fact that you were upfront with the patient immediately is the best move you could’ve made—that transparency saves careers. What likely happened is a “perfect storm” where the soft Type IV bone in that #3 spot didn’t transition from mechanical… Read more

Hello Docs!
First posting here! I wish I had an image to attach but not in the office this week.
I had a patient return for an uncovery of implant #3 at 3.5 months. His initial torque at placement was 35NCm and I placed a cover screw. Pt didnt complain of any symptoms and appeared to have been healing acceptably at 1 week postop. At…

Hi, first time posting and hope everything is enjoying their week! I had a quick question regarding what type of implant this is if anyone can help! They are at sites 19 and 30. Let me know what you think.

Hey scott, based on this x ray, it looks to be Straumann BLX. See how the threads look like they are cutting in 2 directions? thats characteristic of blx

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.

looks too deep

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…

Pt says they have a nickel allergy?? Are they not a candidate for dental implants then)
-
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.
