This is a neodent Helix aqua. Was curious about a 3.3 Roxolid using smile in a box as well. The last time I did this, I lost quite a bit of buccal plate.

Immediate #7

Thoughts on angulation, depth, F/L position? I feel like its too deep, but wanted to at least be bone level on the lingual. Use his old crown as a temp if I achieve enough torque?

Could tip apical lingually and go cementable

In planned position, the apical third awfully close to the cortical plate.

This is a 3.75 x 13. Will be placing…

Smile in a Box works great

There should be a local dental lab that can fabricate for you as well

I purchased a Phrozen 3D printer with KeyGuide resin and now make my own. Send out my scans through RapidGuide from my Sirona CT on simple cases. More complex I will utilize 3Shapes guide service.

Does anyone suggest a surgical stent company ?

Implant concierge ? Or smile in a box

I am planning on doing guided implant placement for 2 posterior implants !

I place Neodent !

Immediate #8, I did graft the buccal gap, but boy did that resorb :/

Very cool study here on immediate implants that I share with docs we teach and thought you all would benefit. Let me know what you think and/or if you have any questions.

This case I posted last year when I was planning. Here it is at 5 months, I am concerned about the buccal plate width at the mid/apical third. Clearly should have put this more lingual. Long term predictability?

Thin facial plate. I’m going to do my darndest to get that out atraumatically, but if, which is a high risk I’d say, that facial plate fractures, flap, membrane, graft come back in 4 months? I cant imagine membrane and grafting without a good facial wall would be indicated here.

Pro tips welcome!

Guided #4 Neodent Helix Acqua 4 x 10

Curious when we are deciding length if folks like to engage the sinus this way or just lay up and do an 8mm length implant?

I am beginning to argue with myself about this. Longer is better? Is there no difference? Play it safe? Im sure this has been discussed before, but I could use advice on this case…

Thoughts, advice?

This is certainly anxiety inducing and all I have ever done is go sloth slow. I will usually start with a small spot on the lingual and lightly advance until I see a cement line. At that point I will start searching for the teflon. I would be very interested to know what others are doing. Ive recently heard of green teflon being used as a means…

EXT 15, 16 today and grafted 15

Teeth came out great with luxation and forceps, grafted and just used a flattened collaplug over the top. and stuffed some into 16 as well.

That said is it a potential issue on the distal of the 15 site for the graft to drop into 16 during the initial healing phase?

Maybe a dumb question, just looking to…

I could certainly see it, i measure with a probe and transferred that to the membrane. I’m 90% sure it covered it.

Retrospect the flap would have been the way to go i think.

I EXT/grafted a #4 today. A) this little bugger did not just come out, had to cut down the root all the way to that laceration and some on the buccal. B) this caused me to make the mistake of perfing out the buccal plate like a 3mm sized hole or so. Something of that nature.

I cut a piece of membrane into a sort of ice cream cone and stuffed it…

Just spoke with my perio, Wonderful man, but he believes pretty strongly that it should be removed. He also noted that this particular zimmer implant has a very thin coronal collar and would be at risk for perforation, he thinks that deeper bur mark towards the mesial is getting pretty close actually. So polishing it may not be a good idea. I…

The disappointment of someone leaving whom you thought was happy, but wasn’t. That felt…..poopy.

Managing the team is harder than expected, but I love these people.

Outside of that, implementing systems and teaching modern techniques has been hard, but they are catching on.

I use allograft 50/50 mix for all my socket preservation, membrane depending on if there are any Boney wall defects as you eluded to. For simple sockets 4 walls a lot of times flattening a collaplug or the like material into the shape of the socket outline, placing it over the top and a figure 8 suture will do fine. Some folks don’t even cover…

I have. She is not motivated for the referral, but I was thinking I could just polish the exposed part and just treated like a tissue level.

How much could she potentially get back with a STG?
