  • Hello All,

    I have placed 15 free handed implants so far but they have been on very straight forward cases with a lot of bone and far proximity of the sinus. This patient is a family friend and I would be doing the case for free. I’m contemplating testing my abilities with this case. It looks like I can sneak in an 8mm implant but may have…

    • Well, that’s a decision. You definitely have to make especially with the family friend. Bit of advice is I would definitely charge even if it’s just a little bit. You don’t wanna get in habit of giving those away for free. You should be able to squeeze it in there, but you wanna make sure that you do not place it too far to buccal cause you…

    • Here is one of two ways in which we assess stability of a dental implant at time of surgery. After we received our torque value, we place a smart peg in the implant to receive another value from our beacon device. This is what is called an ISQ value which stands for implant stability quotient. It essentially is measuring the bone to…

      • What ISQ range do you want to be in at the time of surgery and at the time of restorative?

      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…

        • 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…

        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
