  • 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…

        Reimplanting into Failed Sites?

        A friend told me that she placed implants at 18 and 19, and they failed. Then she had gone back to remove them, meticulously clean…

        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

            • Happy hump day. This was my win today. It always feels good to see an immediate implant placed two weeks ago healing this nicely 🙂

            • Restored my second overdenture case today in our school clinic. It went well independently. Overdenture Cookbook really helped with each! Now only if school would let us do the surgery😅

          • I try-in this implant crown (acrylic crown), is the crown well seated?

            • Hey @jason im attaching the picture you were trying to show 🙂

              • I personally don’t use this system. But the seating definitely looks questionable to me. Is this a temporary crown? I think it is worth taking it off checking contacts, and wiggling it to see if you can get a deeper engagement. Confirming with x-rays, of course. I believe that @restoredsmiles uses this system. Can you share your thoughts, Jed?
