Morning!
I was just wondering what is the status of the Coffee and Case review series? I know that Dr. Vorholt has taken on a new role with Implant Pathway as their study club director. Will the study club series be taken over by Dr. Jed? And what will the format be and time be?
Thanks, and Happy New Year!
Best,
Alex

Hey there Alex!
The new format will be a Monthly Study Club session at 5:15PM PST/8:15PM EST on the 4th Monday of every month. This will be led by Jed Huss from Restored Smiles. He is a BALLER. I think you will love him!
We will also have a Monthly Ask Your Surgeon meeting with Matt Krieger. Matt is an incredible clinician and a really nice…

What are your thoughts about splinting two implant crowns at the end of the ridge (18+19)
is it advisable to splint them or just restore them separately.
Thanks a bunch for your help

To be honest, I think if they can be left individual they should be. This will help facilitate better hygiene access. I splint when I think the implants will require some additional stability or there is limited real estate into which I’m placing the implants. Do you have an x ray?

My preference is definitely to restore individually as it is so much nicer hygienically for the patient, however, in some more rare cases where I have narrow platform and very short implants in a posterior area such as first and second molar sites as well as very soft bone then I would prefer to be more cautious and splint those implants in…

With the new year what is everyone CE plans. I am planning on continuing my CE journey in fixed, taking remote anchorage course. I also want to start learning tissue grafting. What’s everyone else doing?
-
Remote anchorage sounds fire. I’d love to dive into those, but I also wonder how I would safely implement it on my own. What sort of stuff are you looking to learn @suredds ?

@suredds I have a lot of respect for David Wong and he is very matter of fact and down to earth that does great work so from an online aspect which are very convenient for me would be the Ninja Soft tissue course (sorry for the homer answer but it’s true) and for an in person course for me would be any course with Matt Fien which is an…

Not sure if this has been discussed yet but when do you guys consider it “ok” to do flapless guided implant placement or do you think a flap should always be done?
-
I think flapless definitely has a place, especially if you’re doing guided AND you are placing an implant into a very thick ridge of bone. I think, if its not thick, you could be asking for trouble by sticking to flapless
-
Always exceptions but typcially a great habit to flap even if a minor one to verify accuracy and to maximize your keratinized tissue where you want it to be.

If my office only uses implant direct, how do I select for that implant on BSB?

About to do my first removal of a cemented implant crown (just the crown, the implant itself is fine).
It’s a bone level implant with a cemented metall-ceramic crown on top. Do you have any recommendations/tips how to proceed?
Thank a bunch in advance

Hi, I a received my CBCT file in DICOM format from the doc I work with that has a Cone beam. The issue I am running into is converting the DICOM into a file that I can open it in Blue Sky Bio. Do you have any recommendations on how I can convert the file? So far I can only view the file using a separate app called “Bee Dicom Viewer”. Thank…

Any strategies to help gain primary stability? Could u run the drill in reverse to help densify it. I removed this implant that failed.

New grad here….
Have a patient with implants placed at 3 &4 several years ago but didn’t have the funds to restore them until now. Obviously, the anterior one doesn’t look so great radiographically (no bleeding inflammation, etc clinically). Both feel solid and pass the mirror-tapping test.
Would you guys think #3 could still be restored?…

I would remove them both and start over. The only way I’d restore 3 is if it was aware that it had less than 5 year prognosis. The issue was tissue thickness which was less than 2mm thick in all dimensions. I would just be honest with pt that their bone didn’t heal well and you’re concerned about long term prognosis. If they were hell bent I…
