The case I am sharing has been quite challenging for me restoratively. Patient was referred out for implant placement #31. It is a Nobel implant WP. First time I restored it, within a week of insert abutment fractured. Fortunately, retrieving the abutment screw was not that difficult. When I inserted the first time I did know something is…

This one is a bit tough. I say that because it looks like it was a little difficult on the surgical aspect with minimal bone height. It always seems to work out this way–in the cases where you wish to have no problems, you often encounter them.
It’s okay though. Let’s try to get to the bottom of this.
First: I understand you cemented the crown…

Hi! I have a case I wanted some feedback on. Pt is interested in replacing 24 and 25 with implants. I have attached the cbct below and was wondering what you guys think as far as tx planning. I wanted to place 1 implant with a cantilever for 24 and 25. How would you plan the case given the thin bone? Alveoplasty? GBR? Thank you

Hey did my first GBR case this week. I though it went perfect. 3 days later the patient told me she has a fever and is seeing pus-like fluid from the area. I had checked the site the day before and everything looked great. Is there anything I should do now other then Rx antibiotics?

Hi Jeremy – great case and good insight, Ivan!
From a boards perspective (because I’ve dealt with them here in Texas), I would make sure you document everything and do perio charting to cover yourself. Just as my professor in dental school often repeated: if it’s not in the note, it never happened!

I agree – sometimes you get that “dimple” from the cover screw and tissue not fully healing, but it doesn’t compromise the final goal of getting an implant crown. If anything, it makes it nice and easy to find at uncovery! (Mostly if you’re doing overdenture uncovery).
