I have this implant case for tooth #28. I am worried about the anterior loop of the IAN here. It looks like it terminates at slice 62 and 63 but then I have a circular radiolucent area in slice 65. Do you think this is still the mental? If so I have about 10mm from the crest of the ridge. Do you think I’d be safe with an 8 mm implant here?

Just looking at what you provided it looks like there is sufficient room for an 8mm implant and that other slice I believe around 65 just looks like a void around the bone that looks similar to the pano version of the cbct and doesn’t present in other slices, nerve appears to be below that area.

Hey Justiin are you able to share the CBCT on a google drive link?

Hi everyone! I was wondering if someone can direct me to finding some consent forms for an overdenture or a hybrid all on X. I’m doing these for the first time and trying to get situated. Thank you!
-
I don’t know of one specific site per se, but many can get those online. I know some doctors that have actually used ChatGPT for those and organizations such as AGD or ADA if you are a member hace example forms on their website that you can use and download as well as other implant organizations such as ICOI And AAID

Vertical Loft or no? Whats the data on placing a couple mm into the sinus floor?
Lift to be safe? Enough residual height where I feel comfortable doing it.
-
Definitely better to lift with less risk. Let’s discuss your case Monday!

I’ll make an effort to log on. If you don’t mind 3 little humans running around and likely interrupting lol

Failures are apart of dentistry and any profession whether we like it or not. Our responsibility and goal is to deal with them in an effiecient and professional manner. With all the research articles and studies out there implants typically have a 96% to 97% survival rate at 10 years. This means on average you will have 3 to 4 implant…
-
I think the self doubt that comes from failures or criticism is one of the biggest issues in our profession.
One big stumbling block is that pressure you get from these things and it often gets blown out of proportion in your head

Question, after doing a full arch for an overdenture, (meaning placing 4 implants with cover screw, and primary closure), how long do you wait to remove sutures. I used PTFE. Is it recommended 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 2 weeks? Appreciate the help.
-
No official timeline it’s what you’re most comfortable with. I’ve done it at two weeks in the past, but I prefer three weeks as I see more consistent healing over a wide variety of patients so I always do three weeks. Six weeks is a really long time with those sutures in there And overkill in my opinion
3 -
I’d say any of those options except 6 weeks. PTFE stays super clean, I really like suturing with that!

Which implant restoration is better? Find the 5 diffrences in the picture 😂😂😂 just want to know if it is any diffrent in long term restoration and which lab i should go with ?

I like the first one as it has a better emergence profile 🙂

I agree with @ivan-chicchon the first one has a smoother emergence profile

Hello hope all is well. If anyone can help me with this situation that will be nice.! I recently delivered a snap on denture on a patient. I use Neodent implants and I have used zest locators. I wonder if that’s right and if not what I should do because I figured that Neodent is not compatible with Zest and I had to go with Novalok.
And if it’s…
View more comments-
Zest locators are made for Neodent implants and you would use the same zest locator driver to torque them to your implants. You always can call them in the future as well and they can confirms those questions as well as their website
-
Yup, i think that Zest is basically the go-to solution for denture snap-in abutments. You can’t go wrong with them.
I also like to use DESS abutments for denture snap-ins. Both work great.
Each of these denture snap in abutment systems has its own corresponding driver. One of the reason i like the DESS abutments, is that you can use a regular…

What are your thoughts on what this radiolucent area in the anterior mandible could be? Should I be concerened with placing an implant into it?
-
I’m not sure just from those slices but more reward and less risk in other locations. Around the mandibular midline you have your superior and/or inferior foramina relative to the genial tubercle/mental spine which can very in size greatly from pt. to pt. and often times very apical where no teeth have been before you can have more variability…
2 -
100% in agreement with @restoredsmiles While the anterior mandible is easy pickings for implants, it is very important to pay attention to things like this in the x rays.
It looks like if you drill into that spot you may get a bleeder that might be difficult to manage. I would also recommend opting for modifying your plan to stay away from that finding.

Happy Thursday to ALL! I hope all my Implant Ninja DOJO peeps are havning a fantastic day and week. Just remember if you’re havning a bad day or week it can always be worse, like this photo of a fractured implant. Make sure you always you the torque wrench properly and don’t over torque your implants or this can happen. Only way to remove…
-
at what torque value is considered “over torqueing”?
1 -
It depends on the implant system, as well as the diameter of the implant. Typically implants can be torqued at very, very high torque values and I am not one that believes in Osteo pressure necrosis. I have not experienced that clinically, and my implants are placed subcrestal and I have no bone loss around implants at extremely high…
