Hi
i was wondering if you can tell me where you buy your angled abutments & locators (as you mentioned for $30-40), Also the non engaging abutments are the same as temp cylinders or any specific ones that non engages for implant Bridges or fixed all on x, where to buy to purchase them?

I have 2 vendors to recommend:
Edison Medical (they used to be called Dibay and were a better company IMO but they still offer the same parts)

Also this one: Dess Abutments.
It’s hard to beat Dess. They offer abutments for everything. And they do it…

How do you ensure your graft gets to the apex? I completed site preservation today and it is the first time I have done it since residency (2021). The graft in some areas that you see in the CBCT the graft didnt get to the apex? How will this effect implant placement later on? Do you place a little graft at a time, use perio probe then add…

For grafting I almost only use my curette and place a little at a time. This lets me pack apically as I go. I use cotton swabs for compression too. That being said there’s still been times where I have a 1-2mm void at the apex. Not ideal, but my implants turned out fine
For the palatal release, I do a conservative envelope flap. Same on the…

I wouldn’t worry about the graft getting to the apex, that area will fill with blood and turn into bone. There are even some techniques that use a collagen plug (not osteogen) then granulated bone on top. Still turns out great.

As discussed in one of the previous posts on mini implants. For me they can be a pain to get out. I had this patient with bleeding and suppuration around these implants. I discussed with patient long term prognosis and she wanted to keep as ling as possible. So I did aome graftint and it actually turned out pretty good! Tissues are nice…

The gingiva biotype looks thick type so, I don’t think you will have problem with the implant

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?

Our oral pathologist recommends liquid bandage to cover ulcers

Hello Ivan, thank you for your reassurance. Here are some of the post operative one week photos. Good thing is patient has a low lip line. And yes, I could not relly see any exposure and I did place some bone graft with straumann xenoflex at the apical region. Have a great weekend !

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 am usually doing small flaps and placing a stock healing abutment. Per our discussion on a post a little while back, I got a Cervico set and am going to use it to…

Rethinking Everyday Instruments: The Case of Minnesota Retractors
Have you ever considered the everyday instruments we use that seem poorly designed or cause unnecessary discomfort? As someone who spends long hours in the operating room, I’ve certainly had my fair share of frustrations. One instrument that stands out to me is the Minnesota…
