First freehand implant placed a couple of weeks ago. #4. Felt my initial angulation was coming too far mesially and tried to course correct best I could. Happy with the final placement. A little tricky with the distal sloping of the ridge from #5 down to implant #3. Did a papilla sparing incision and tucked the tissue to the buccal with…

First three career implants placed last month! Fully guided.
Some thoughts and questions:
The tissue punch for #29 probably left a less than ideal amount of buccal keratinized gingiva. One month later, patient has some irritation of the gingiva buccal to the healing abutment. In retrospect, I would have liked to flap rather than punch and try…

HI Guys
i am a bit confused on PRF & CGF (sticky bone),mostly the RPM & time to prepare for sticky bone.
I understand A-PRF (PRF membrane) is 1300 rpm at 8 minutes (red tube), is the CGF (sicky bone0 is i-PRF which is red tube at 7oo RPM for 3 minutes then mixed with allograft? I understand each centrifuge has its own settings!
Can someone…

Hey! There’s a lot of info out there so it can get a bit confusing with all the different protocols. each centrifuge does have its own settings, which can make things tricky.
For A-PRF (membrane), I use 1300 rpm for 8 minutes with a red tube. For CGF (sticky bone), you’re on the right track! Usually, i-PRF is prepared at 700 rpm for 3… Read more

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
-
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…

Any other medical conditions or medications to consider?

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:

Very clean work and great documentation. 👊

I usually save guides for more “tricky” cases. But I also don’t have the best workflow at my office on getting them since the previous docs never did guided. I think I’ll be incorporating more as time goes.

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.
