What are your tips or tricks for making sure your implant is in the correct restorative position?
When placing Implants freehand, it’s easy to judge the mesial and distal angulation, but often tricky to judge buccal lingual orientation. Here’s what you can do to make sure you are in the correct restorative position – use the opposing dentition!

love it. I do the same thing for overdenture patients! This is specially useful if you don’t have the adjacent teeth for reference! Thanks for sharing man! 🙌

Hello Berat! I apologize for the delay here! Yesterday was absolutely nuts for me!
This is a great question! I can explain what I do.
1. Take an alginate impression, send to lab to get wax rims.
2. With the wax rims, I do the usuall rim adjustment and occlusal records of VDO. Send to lab for a tooth set up.
3. When you get your tooth set up,…

PERI IMPLANTITIS.
As a periodontist it is truly the bane of my existence. But, it happens to the best of us. Sometimes it’s completely out of our control for patient factors or general lack of follow up. For those patients in your practice though with consistent follow up care, it can be the most frustrating.
So my question is– what are…

Honestly, I don’t probe unless there is an issue. When there’s an issue I probe with a plastic probe. We take follow up PA’s whenever they’re called for with their regular dental treatment.
I’d love to learn from you @jostanger As a periodontist at a perio practice I would love to hear what your protocols are!

I check occlusion once a year on implants, and have hyg probe at least once a year. The depth is not as important as long as there is no bleeding.

Thanks for responding Ivan!
Haha, what gave it away? (the emoji doesnt show up for some reason)
Yes it is my first. I have placed lots of single unit implants, but this will be my first overdenture case. For the mandible, we are restoring with a partial denture.

Is implant ninja an AGD PACE Program Provider for FAGD/MAGD credit? Does the CE from the courses on implant ninja count towards AGD?
-
The CE from Implant Ninja does absolutely count towards AGD. We provide them through our partner Infodontics—which is run by prosthodontists Nate Farley and Kent Howell. 😁

Yes we are!

Hey there Ahmad! Thanks for sharing this case! This looks like an excellent candidate for an overdenture case, my friend.
Is this your first case?
I like your plan. I see how the anterior segment of the maxilla is deficient in bone so placing 2 implants on either side is great. You have massive amount of bone in this case. Will you be…

ahmadred started the discussion UPPER OVERDENTURE CASE in the forum Implant Tx Planning 6 months ago
I have a 61 yo F I am placing 4 implants for in the maxilla to restore as an overdenture. Her bone is not the best, and there are several areas where the bone is angulated, and I will likely have to angle the implants slightly. I was hoping to get your feedback on my plan, and then take it from there. I have included the cuts of where I want…

I have actually seen a few studies about this, where the CBCT shows no to little bone but the implant is successful even after a decade. The main factor in these cases was the about of soft tissue. It being so apically I would not worry about it, learn from it and keep going. I see no reason why it would impact the success of the case. Like…

I agree with Ivan that you might have bone there (also agree don’t flap it lol). These things happen and we learn from them!
