When MLB players and athletes hit a slump, it’s often because their fundamentals are just slightly off. Does anyone ever feel that way clinically? Maybe things aren’t lining up quite right, surgeries aren’t going as smoothly as you’d like, or you’re noticing a streak of less-than-ideal outcomes. How do you reset when that happens? Does anyone…

Bro this happens to me like 3x per year 🙈
I’ll share about how it is for me personally. For me, it’s when I have been sacrificing a bit and not taking care of myself personally. It’s the classic goose with the golden egg issue. Got to take care of yourself to make sure you can run the marathon and still be your best self.
What I do is, take a…

Same for me man. Same for me. I have absolutely no time for it.
However it got to a point where I realized that I was not bringing my best self for my family or for my work.
So I made it a non-negotiable. it’s basically my daily medicine. Even if I take 45 min out of the day to exercise and stretch, it actually adds productivity to the day… Read more

Can we use implant ninja for implant retained partial overdentures? How does this implant placement look?
-
Yo! Great question @jorbrown , yes you can certainly use our implants for implant-assisted partials. You just pop some locators on them and you’re good to go!
Keep in mind that for implant assisted partials you want the implants to be axially placed (as straight as you can) to the bite force so that you dont have too much off axis loading on them.
<br… -
Sure can. I tend to lean on placing 6 on the Maxillary and only 2 on the mandible when it’s not fixed. I have had some cases not go as panned and having 6 makes a huge difference down the road.

Reply to Upper Anterior Implant Position
Hello William, thank you for posting this.
This is a very common issue and it is great that you did not actually break through the labial plate. Although it looks very thin on the CBCT in that region, if you flapped it you might find that there is still bone covering the implant and that no exposure is present. (I am not advising you to flap it!)

Upper Anterior Implant Position
Good day everyone ! Recently I have placed an implant in the 23 region without using a guide. Patient has a prominent buccal exostosis and low smile line. However the bone apical to the bony exostosis is narrow. I made a mistake by focusing too much on getting the ideal screw channel axis and placed the implant too lingually.
While the…

Hey guys first time post. Ive bren trying to learn more about implants and doing my best to get better and better as a clinician.
The other day I placed an implant and tried to do a crestal sinus lift using the densah burs and allograft. The CBCT showed that i had about 6mm of bone till the sinus floor at site of the first molar. So I decided…

Hi @rroque29 great to see you on here!
What makes you think you perfd the membrane?
Did you feel when you broke the floor of the sinus?
Would love to hear what you guys think, @jostanger @mickyfrick

When just getting Into Christal, sinus lifting, I’ve often found that it feels like you are going in blind Because, well, you are!
If the membrane was not punctured during the drilling protocol, the bone should stay localized.
However, the situation that you’re describing has happened to me many many times as well. Personally, it has not become…

End-of-year purchases for tax purposes
Do you guys buy materials or equipment to offset taxes? I’ve always sort of done this as sort of a kneejerk reaction to saving some taxable income, but not very methodically.
Do you guys do this or are you thinking of doing this at all?
If so, what you gonna buy?
-
I’ll go first.
I’m going to buy a bunch of implant accessories and mess around with them. Nothing too expensive, but just handful of 20 different gadgets or so. I’ll buy some bone tacks and screws as well.
I’ve been toying with the idea of buying an X Nav and Yomi. But I’ll probably not get around to purchasing them. The technology still seems…

We normally don’t! Our practice accountant doesn’t advise it so we just don’t and I’ve never looked more into it LOL

CUSTOM HEALING ABUTMENTS
Hey folks! Hope everyone had a wonderful thanksgiving!
I went down a custom healing abutment rabbit hole yesterday and wound up with a few lingering questions.
The protocol for immediate implants makes total sense.. but how can we make custom healing abutments for delayed implant placement?? Does anyone do this and have…

Hey @RYAN Thanks for sharing this man. You got me going down the rabbit hole as well.
I’ve periodically make them to use on the day of implant placement. Not so frequently as a stage 2 procedure.
A couple things:
The product you shared led me to several instructional videos that tried to teach me to use some free new software. The truth is, i…

Hi guys,I’m new on implant dentistry.I’ll ask about full mouth cases.I just wonder if we are able to place 4-6 implants so why would we still go overdenture instead of fixed.I know it makes prosthesis more stable but it is still removable? (Photo from Ivan’s Overdenture Cookbook :))
View more comments-
Hi Berat! Great question. You’re asking, if we can place 4-6 implants and do a bar on it—why wouldn’t we simply do fixed?
Fixed vs removable full arch is a great topic.
Removable is a great option if:
– patient has a very high smile line and shows gums.
– patient has a big “composite defect” basically meaning that they have had a lot of…
