    Looking into 3D printing my surgical guides myself.

    I know the book says AnyCubic, my buddy thinks I should go Phrozen?

    Thoughts, advice?

    thanks in advance

    • Dr. Ivan has a great online course on guides that have been very helpful to other doctors getting into this. Our office has recently gotten of SprintRay 3-D printer and made you that in the future. I would love to know Ivan’s thought on this?


      @ivan-chicchon your thoughts?

      Sinus lift

      Hey everyone. I am tx planning #14 implant (5×8.5mm) with a transcrestal sinus lift of 4-5mm. He reports year round sinus issue; uses a nasal spray. I am concerned with the amount of radioopacity in the left sinus to move forward with sinus bump. His right sinus is completely clear. I put him on sudafed for 2 weeks (to try…

      Hello William,

      The design looks relatively good relative to how the implants were replaced. As you drew the lines, you could obviously make a better emergency profile from the head so there’s more of a convex rather than concave emergence profile. You could get a little tissue compression may be around a millimeter or so, but it just depends on…

      Good day to all, I am having some issues with this case which was performed without a surgical guide. The fixtures were placed too distally and lingually tilted. I would like to get your expert opinion on the design of the final crowns.

      1) Would it be better to join the crowns together to dissipate the occlusal force ? since the screw…

    • Lots of bone building needed with this case in order for the patient to receive his desired implant. Elderly patient had a failed bridge and he preferred to have individual teeth this time around. However, patient presented with severe bone resorption around the upper right lateral incisor area. We opted to place the implant and…

      EXT 15, 16 today and grafted 15

      Teeth came out great with luxation and forceps, grafted and just used a flattened collaplug over the top. and stuffed some into 16 as well.

      That said is it a potential issue on the distal of the 15 site for the graft to drop into 16 during the initial healing phase?

      Maybe a dumb question, just looking to…

      • No issue at all. Many times in a case like that I will just graft both sites to help maintain gingival architecture better and maximize healing with less risks.

      • I have a patient who has a cemented implant crown but wants it changed do to color. What techniques or methods do clinicians have to help remove the crown safely? I have tried to prep into crown searching for screw but that can be fruitless. Hoping some people have pearls.

        • This is certainly anxiety inducing and all I have ever done is go sloth slow. I will usually start with a small spot on the lingual and lightly advance until I see a cement line. At that point I will start searching for the teflon. I would be very interested to know what others are doing. Ive recently heard of green teflon being used as a means…

          • Unfortunately, no magic to this procedure. It definitely helps to go slow and I use a flat tapered diamond but or a diamond chamfer bur. Definitely, looking at multiple X-rays to have your best access location is helpful but it just takes that along with patience. Also, if it’s not your crown you may not be fortunate to find teflon, it may just…
