Hey guy, I’m still pretty new to implants. I’ve placed about 30. Looking for suggestions to improve. This is my most recent one. I chose 9 mm implant due to the proximity to the nerve. My main goal was to engage natural bone beyond the apex of the socket without getting too close to the nerve. I used the Densah burs, mostly in OD mode. and…

Question… How do you guys manage bleeding with full arches on patients that are on blood thinners for previous heart attacks, stents, etc…? It was like a pool, even during suturing at the end could barely visualize properly.

Hey does anyone here know the hiossen guide tube parameters to make surgical guides in Blue Sky Bio?
-
TBH i’m not sure what the exact dimensions are. What I have done is ordered a couple of sleves from Blue Sky and used a trial and error method to see what fits on my implant drills for various systems. You could also call companies that make surgical guides and ask them to sell you the guide tubes for Hiossen specifically. Like this… Read more

Hi buddy,
First post for me, and I like to help fellow dentites. I did a fair amount of surgical guides with Hiossen, and these are the settings that work for me. You need to add a little more on the guide hole diameter to allow the smooth guide part of the drill to go through.
Plus, the guide hole shrinks during curing. For example, on… Read more- View 1 reply

Was looking at requirements for ABOI and they want 670 ce hours. Ive learned most everything from textbooks and dont have time to take a maxicourse. Any suggestions as I start this journey?

@suredds Geez, yes that is quite a bit of CE. What’s the limiting factor: time or money? If you’re looking at that quantity of CE you probably are looking to not spend a crazy amount of money on each one…

Hey whats everyone’s opinion on using collagen membranes after socket preservation where the site heals via 2ndary intent?
-
Is there a tool or technique to prevent the membrane from folding over itself

Ive been reading the Pikos bone grafting book and he shows examples of just using stuff like oraplug or colla plug in the extraction sockets. He then uses a biopsy punch of the palate and sutures it on top. So basically bone graft then a small piece ( uses the biopsy punch) of collaplug then biopsy punch again of keratinized palatal tissue… Read more

Hi guys,
Just wanted to put it out there, what a great community this is. I love that it is not purely academical and judgemental 😀 I attended the complications webinar two weeks ago and loved it- what I miss in our dental community at home is the ongoing stigma around GPs doing surgery and especially women 😀 I love the fact that you…

@veronika0312 that is such a wonderful thing to hear! I am glad you were able to attend the webinar!
That’s what we’re aiming for–to foster a community of people who are here to learn but to form friendships too. And to not be to overly academic about it all.
Tell us more about you! I know nothing of Slovenia, but would like to learn what… Read more- View 1 reply

Hey Nick to be honest these are tricky when there is minimal bone in the maxilla.
I’m attaching an article by Jensen which is cool, but still it’s not an easy thing. You might look into Remote Anchorage Solutions as discussed here:

As for me, when the case is too atrophic I prefer to do it staged with sinus lifts. But I know that’s not the popular choice these days. Don’t know if @vorholtdds is more adventerous than me

What would u do? Pt was getting headaches bc she was hitting too hard on LL didnt tell me till she rolls in for suture removal and out implant comes. My current plan is replace and sleep it. Concerned about LR also, will flap and visualize possibly replace also.
-
Hey Nick, this has happened to me several times.
1) I usually prepare to make a new provisional right away. Because you’re going to have an extended healing period now, you know your temp will go through more wear and tear.
2) place a new implant in a new site on the left.
3) deliver new temp attached to all implants and wait it out.
No… Read more
