Hey group. I’m a 3rd year dental student who wants to know all things implants. I’m currently reading through Misch. If you all could drop more resource recommendations that would be appreciated.

This book was where it all started. I wrote it back in 2016 after i had tk resuscitate a patient in my chair and decided to quit at the high stress implant center i was working at.
Did you know you have access to this book? Its on the Books Tab! 🔥

Amazing having access to all that great content Ivan. Much appreciated.

Does anyone suggest a surgical stent company ?
Implant concierge ? Or smile in a box
I am planning on doing guided implant placement for 2 posterior implants !
I place Neodent !

Smile in a Box works great
There should be a local dental lab that can fabricate for you as well
I purchased a Phrozen 3D printer with KeyGuide resin and now make my own. Send out my scans through RapidGuide from my Sirona CT on simple cases. More complex I will utilize 3Shapes guide service.

Heard good things about Implant Concierge. I’ve used 3DDX. Also, my buddies Nate Farley and Kent Howell are prosthodontists who started their own lab and they do loads of guided stuff: https://renewdigitaldesign.com

Placed an implant and healing abutment and patient came with overgrown tissue on lingual which is not soft or hard but a bump. At first I thought it was an ill-fitting interim denture and adjusted. Also placed a soft liner. She came back 2 weeks later still there. So I placed a taller healing abutment and adjusted her existing denture to not…

From the picture, it looks like some decent quality tissue that has built up over time. When you finish your new prosthesis and have proper tissue pressure everywhere, it might settle down slightly, but at this point, I would just leave it as it’s better to have that type of tissue than oral mucosa up against your locators. It looks like…

Have you tried adjusting the tissue at all? You could just use a 15 blade and trim it down a bit. It’s not the end of the world to have the tissue bulging like that but it can be a nuisance

Implants are NOT teeth, let me explain…
Dental implants can not survive without sufficient bone and biology within the patients mouth. Teeth can survive and even thrive with as little as a 1/4 or a 1/2mm of bone present on the buccal or facial plate; an implant generally will not. It is imperative to plan the proper bone and biology to surround…

What are your thoughts on removing the incisive canal? Often times i find that with bone grafting on a 8 or 9 site that the canal still gets in the way for implants
-
That can be done, but that would be my least favorite option and my last resort. The patient can have long lasting paresthesia and sensation on the roof of their mouth so I typically don’t want to remove any anatomy that normally should be there so that would be my last resort Situation where I couldn’t avoid it. If you do do that make sure…

Working to reorganize our implant components (restoring general dentist). Does anyone have a system that works really well thats not a ton of small little baggies or a box of everything mixed together? Would also love recommendations on autoclavable storage boxes.
-
Hello Emily. We typically just have Home Depot type of containers with lots of individual compartments that are labeled. I would love if others would share what they do and even share some pics here for everyone.

Honestly what seems to work best is minimizing the systems that you have on hand. If you have parts that are not critical to the workflow, I hide those–because assistants will find them and mix them up with your essentials, then it all goes to hell
