I was thinking yesterday, could I substitute Liquid Bandages for PeriAcryl? It could be a significant cost savings. Nowhere on the liquid bandage bottle did it say oral wounds are contraindicated. What do you think?

Looking back at a case I did a few years ago, I’ve realized how much my approach has evolved.

I placed two implants in the posterior region using guided surgery. At the time, I chose a tissue punch technique because there was plenty of keratinized tissue, and it felt like the most minimally invasive option. The implants healed well, and the…

Thanks for the reflection man. l am the same, I used to do more punches as well.

Although this case in particular looks like there is loads of tissue! So I still might be lazy lol

I use 5.5x loupes and im pretty sure I can see a screw down at the end. 1. Do I… Read more

Thanks for posting Richard, You can actually do it either way. However, the preferred way would be to:

1. access the screw channel and successfully remove the abutment.

2. Take an impression

3. Send the impression and abutment to the lab

It does take some care and some time…
