  • 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

      • I am figuring this out too. Where are you based?

      • @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…

          • Hi @veronika0312 ! Thank you so much for your kind words, it’s really, really nice to hear that we’re doing something with this learning community and it is in fact impactful! We’ve been working on this for some time now, but this time feels like we’ve got it! And as part of the Ninja team, we do see the stigma around women in the dentistry… Read more

            • @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

          • 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

              Your plan looks okay–with some minor modifications.

              1) Grafting a 6.7mm site is good because you dont really need to gain much. Just a small win will be enough.

              2) Especially if you are newer to this, I would probably want to move those vertical releasing incisions further away from the graft site. You can hop over to the next tooth. The idea…

              Great question. 4.5mm for a molar is okay.

              However, it’s hard to give a cookie cutter answer. It comes down to the platform design, the titanium grade, and the occlusion.

              So if you have a 4mm implant with a good emergence profile, and its made with titanium alloy and the walls of the platform are not thin, and occlusion is light…
