Reply to Another Ridge Augmentation
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…

I have another case here with a buccal defect on tooth # 13. Pt has been wearing a flipper for over 10 years.
Looking at the insufficient B-L width at 4.8mm, I’d like to do a ridge augmentation (mini-sausage technique) and two stage this ( I really dont want to do a ridge split) where I would:

Thanks so much for the reply- you would feel comfortable putting in a 4mm in a molar site? I don’t have the mesial distal with of #19 site right now, but I imagine it to be around 10mm.
From my understanding, molar sites should be at least 5mm to prevent implant fracture, and to counter act the force of an opposing molar.

That’s great to hear! I would definitely reinforce the the OHI and put the patient on a more frequent follow up schedule. Although the bone loss is controlled at this point, we do have to keep in mind that implants with exposed threads do have a higher risk for peri-implantitis in the future.
I’m glad to hear it didnt get worse!

Hey Anthony,
Thanks for the question.
4 months is usually a sufficient amount of time to wait before placing your implant–unless there is some underlying medical condition. For example, diabetes or smoking can alter healing.
I can definitely see the dimensional changes you mentioned, but the bone inside the socket looks how I would expect it…

Hi I extracted tooth # 19 about 4 months ago and grafted it with 50/50 cortical cancellous bone and resorbable membrane.
I saw the pt today and felt like the bone could be more dense in the extraction site. Looking at the photos you can see that the ridge was 9.7mm and now it’s 7.8mm after 4 months.
I was going to drop a 4.5x 8.5 in the site,…
