Hoping for some feedback here as I am fairly new in my implant journey and have had a couple failures lately that I cannot understand.

Placed this implant a few weeks ago on healthy patient site #30. Surgery went very smooth, with sequential osteotomies and implant torquing out at 40N/cm. Patient comes back three weeks later and implant…

Hello everyone I’m Mert, an Oral Surgeon from Turkiye. Just popped in to ask a question for now, can anyone give me some pointers or a source with alveolar crest reduction for AOX, I’m having problems making the crest parallel and flat. Especially the parallel part, sometimes I can’t make it a straight line and have to do touch ups very often.

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!

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…

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!

Some of the most rookie mistakes can be a fractured screw of an abudment. It’s really annoying but that involves in some cases. Let’s say you made a perfect All on X case with perfect prothesis all good 👍🏻 till now.…

LOST ROOT TIP

To piggyback on the theme of @RYAN ‘s WTF Wednesday post... Take a look at this little complication.

I extracted #14 by sectioning it, however a little piece of root tip fractured off of the palatal root. I considered leaving it, but figured I would try one last time with the root tip pick. As I reached for the root tip and gave it…

Hello,

I recently placed an implant that I’m worried about the prognosis. My previous cases have all been free handed. I had my lab make a guide for this case. I ended up relying too much on the guide and placed the implant too close to the adjacent tooth (0.8mm). Has anyone else placed one this close and had it fail or be successfull? Im…
