Hello everyone,
I have a patient with a fractured Straumann tissue-level implant at site #31. The coronal portion of the implant has fractured off circumferentially, leaving only the bone-level portion intact. This implant previously supported a gold crown on a one-piece abutment. Additionally, the tissue-level implant at site #30 has a worn… Read more

let me also clarify the PA. that is a Closed tray impression coping screwed on to the fractured implant.

I would love to see what the remaining platform looks like. It may surprise us!
If the remaining piece is fractured in a way that an abutment would leave some irregular gaps and holes, you may consider using your impression coping to try to capture the shape of the remaining fractured implant. You can do that by applying light body…

What are some goals and challenges that you are working on?

I’ll go first.
1. I want to build up my bone grafting tool belt. Expanding to bigger grafts.
2. In the next 2 weeks I want to get 2 new referring doctors to my practice. I’m going to be sending out some letters and making personal visits.

Thanks all
My intended length was reached, it was just strange because the implant reached the intended length (subcrestal), and at 30ncm torque, but then on the last turn of the wrench it became a spinner. Thats what i didn’t get, i thought maybe i overtorqued and wiped out the threads of the site.

Hi all,
Link of buying 2 drills only instead of having all screw removal kit does not work ??View more comments-
Which is provided in little wisdom book

Hello Ahmed! Thank you for asking. You are absolutely right! We actually put our 2-piece screw removal kit on pause for the moment. I want to improve its quality at the moment.
I will share some links to alternatives that you might want to try.

Ok, so I always place my Neodent subcrestal. I was told that leaving the implant in the cortical layer of.bone will cause resorbption. Its important to drill deeper than you intend. It also depends on density. If I were placing a 1st molar in a healed site I would drill to 10 mm with 2.2 drill then drill to a 5.0 at 8mm then place a 5×8. I… Read more

Hey guys just my 2 cents here:
I prefer to go slightly deeper even with a BLT implant (others may classify this as subcrestal) and to obtain this I usually leave an extra 1-1.5mm of space just in case. For example cbct shows 10mm depth available, so I choose an 8 or 8.5mm implant, prep the zone with guide drill to approximately 9-9.5mm, place…

Hi Ash, as you continue to place more implants you will run into this. Like Ivan said, the reason is because the implant just can’t go lower (even if it’s tapered it needs a bit of osteotomy). I tend to use a 11.5 drill for my 10mm implants as I like them to be a little subcrestal. When this happens just take the implant out, set it aside, drill…

Thank you Ivan.
Its a bone level tapered, in the posterior mandible (LR6) in a healed socket. No xrays on me. Does overpreparing work with tapered implants? Such that will a 10mm implant get good stability in a 12mm socket (as its tapered).
I think i may have overtorqued, is it possible i may have wiped out the threads in the socket?
Thank you

Hello Ash! Thank you for being part of the community. this is the perfect place to seek guidance on this.
The #1 reason I have found that this happens is because the implant hits the bottom of the prep. Especially in harder bone.
To avoid this, I always prep 1.5mm beyond the desired implant length. Can you tell us a bit more bout the case? Any…

Hi folks, i placed a BLT implant which was tight initially but then then suddenly became a spinner after i reached the determined length. Whats the reason for this?
Thank you
