    Guided #4 Neodent Helix Acqua 4 x 10

    Curious when we are deciding length if folks like to engage the sinus this way or just lay up and do an 8mm length implant?

    I am beginning to argue with myself about this. Longer is better? Is there no difference? Play it safe? Im sure this has been discussed before, but I could use advice on this case…

    • Generally speaking if there’s not much difference in implant length, I would rather have higher reward less risk. An 8 mm implant that’s integrated is going to be just as good as a 10 mm integrated implant. There’s great research out there that shows short implants which are generally 8 mm or less. I’ve almost the same success rate as…

    • Implant placed by GP 6 months ago, #14 is integrated yet has bone defect. What is best suggestion to move forward?

      • I would consider taking it out; angulation looks off, soft tissue looks extremely thin which will cause issues with the implant in the long run anyways. Explant, graft and do a sinus lift (vertical approach or lateral depending on bone at time of placement) and make sure you have 3 mm of vertical soft tissue height above the implant platform.

      • This one will make you lose sleep for days 😅; Implant in the sinus UL. I would say if you are comfortable with doing a lateral window/caldwell luc, take a cbct and see where it is relatively in the sinus and remove with that procedure. I find that sometimes you can push the patients head a certain way (since the sinus the pyramidal) to get…

      It looks like there’s great interproximal Bone so that’s what you should lean into on a case like this. You may have to go slightly wider to get really good engagement on the mesial and distal walls and remove some of the lingual portion of the bone socket just slightly so that you can maintain a good 2 mm buccal gap so you have sufficient…

      #20 ext/graft

      Hi,

      #20 is planned for an extraction and socket grafting. I planned for an implant 4.0x7mm (which I’m thinking is a bit short – would have liked at least 8.5mm) but is limited in length due to the lingual concavity.

      The implant fits into this pre-extraction dimensions; however, I’m anticipating some bone loss even after socket grafting and…

    • Hey Dojo peeps! Hope everyone is doing great😁…Can anyone name this suture technique? Which suture technique do you use the most? This case was just a straight forward socket preservation with some CGF/PRF for a future implant.

      ALSO…what would you all like to talk about and discuss at the next webinar this month??? PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT SO I…

      • Continuous interlocking sutures? I would love to learn about periimplantitis management and disinfection protocols!

    • Here’s a full arch we did for this patient with 6 implants for a fixed hybrid. Bone reduction for these cases can be crucial especially depending on your approach and material selection. Good keratinized tissue around your multi unit abutments and/or locators are also key to long term success.

      What are some key factors you focus on? What are…

      • @restoredsmiles ahhh you’re one of those guys who’s patients don’t bleed… 😆 jk that is great work!
        I struggle with how to handle excess tissue left after bone reduction. I’ve seen people cut off a band of tissue including the papillae – but that often causes more bleeding and I still end up with a “flabby” sutured tissue since its… Read more

      This is a 1st time complaint from a pt for me: she says that she can HEAR and FEEL the saliva come through around the #8 MUA of an all on 4. She didn’t have this issue in her pmma which the lab was supposed to copy, and she doesn’t feel it around any other implants. This is a Zirconia fill arch prosthesis and convex on the tissue side.

      How much…

      • Hey Adis. I know that’s gotta be frustrating. Especially when the trial PMMA was good but to be honest, it just seems like it needs proper tissue pressure and there’s just too much space there which is causing that. You could set expectations and see if the patient gets used to it and then it’s fine or what would be best as to Improve the…

        • Thank you for the response. I’ve already had the talk with the patient but she keeps coming back with the other side doesn’t do that. I’ll talk with the lab next.

          Is there such a thing as ideal tissue pressure? Do we want it to blanch when seating? And do gum contours change over time? This case is about 1 month in, but what to do if this occurs…
