  • Hello just a few questions.

    1. After extraction ans socket preservation are complete , how long do you wait until you take a cbct and plan the implant?

    2. What do you do when the IAN canal is NOT visible at all on the CBCT? How can I forward the cbct to you for review?

    Thank you!

    Love

    • Hello Lori,

      I typically wait 4mo. On a healthy patient when there was no real defect at the site. If I have to repair a missing buccal wall then it’s usually 5mo. Or so. Also, typically the easiest way to identify I difficult nerve is to start at the mental Foreman which is much easier to identify and then follow the nerve more posterior to…

    • What in the Trauma is going on? Ok, you all wanted implants and bone grafting so here ya go…

      This was a challenging case to say the least, especially when it’s your mother. She fell and fractured 3 of her front teeth amongst other things. A few hours later I had 3 teeth extracted, extracted sockets grafted, ridge augmentation complete, 8…

      • Is this basically done in two stages? One for graft and one for implant placement?

        Dude you bulked that up considerably. I am always cautious about overbulking to much—just due to nervousness on my end. But you totally disprove that. Do you just go HAM on the amount of allograft as long as you can get passive closure?

      • Definitely a can of worms. Given his situation it sounds like we want to make the best with what we can it get him healthier and ready for larger more important treatment. I would most likely do something similar. I would cut the bar and try to use the two anterior implants and get what function out of them I can and reline and/or do a…

        • Super interesting case Ryan. Do you have any additional pictures?

          Helping patients in this situation can be tough.

          The back two implants are obviously goners. Your plan to remove them is sound.

          You might consider removing the bar and sectioning it to remove the back two implants.

          The anterior portion can stay intact. You can re-insert the…

        • Reply to Implant #8 complication

          Hey man, thanks for sharing here! First off, no I don’t think you’re going to have to take this implant out. I think it’s gonna turn out just fine.

          Secondly, you might not have as much bone as you think covering the implant. If that’s graft on top of the screw, it might resorb a few mm.

          Be prepared to remove and shape bone a little bit for the…

          If there is enough bone and biology around it and the body heals well should be straightforward. You’ll just have to remove bone that heals over the top which is a good problem to have and it’s pretty straightforward.

        • Implant #8 complication

          Guide failed, freehand placement immediate #8. First 2 sizes I wanted were sinkers. Finally got a larger one super deep as a spinner so grafted and left it. How can I salvage this when it comes time uncover/restore or am I gonna have to take it out? buccal lingual position is in screw retained position. Thank you
