Hello Ahmed! Thank you for asking. You are absolutely right! We actually put our 2-piece screw removal kit on pause for the moment. I want to improve its quality at the moment.
I will share some links to alternatives that you might want to try.

Reply to Tightened inplant which starts spinning
Hello Ash! Thank you for being part of the community. this is the perfect place to seek guidance on this.
The #1 reason I have found that this happens is because the implant hits the bottom of the prep. Especially in harder bone.
To avoid this, I always prep 1.5mm beyond the desired implant length. Can you tell us a bit more bout the case? Any…

🚀 Motivation Monday 🚀
⭐️ What is a routine, ritual, or habit that has helped you to be your best self lately?

I’ll go first. Switching away from coffee to matcha has been a game changer for me. Also running at least 1 mile every day has helped me stay on track in terms of mindset.
For some reason after turning 35, I had to develop some new routines and rituals to be my best self. Maybe it’s due to parenthood, or maybe I’m gettin old haha 😅 (I’m 37 now) …

I have found yoga helps my back to stay loose. I do not do anything else. I feel they have me running around the office so much I get a good cardio workout most days. 😂

I’ll go first, first stopping by the vet to get these guys their shots. They’re only 3 months but soon they’ll be absolutely massive. Got them so they can protect our property from coyotes and mountain lions!🐶

Break in at our practice today 🤦🏻♂️ our new practice is still under construction so luckily no dental equipment was stolen. They stole tools and a compressor.
Have you guys had any vandalism in your practices? What do you do for prevention?

Boss I don’t know the prices for such services in Cali for you, but for us if the practice is relatively not small and can afford it – we just hire night shift guards and we sleep well knowing there’s a dude guarding the practice with a licensed gun that’s ready to fire some bullets if need be.

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…
What should we do about the root tip?

WTF is right!
Sounds like it’s time to find a new OS to refer to.. that’s ridiculous how they handled it
Is a root tip in the sinus usually handled like a tooth displaced into the infratemporal fossa? Let it fibrose? Or do they usually like to go after them in the sinus right away?
1 -
I am not a fan of leaving root tips behind so I’m sure I would’ve done the same and ended up in the same boat!
I would have called another OS to get the patient in right away though. If the OS isn’t available same day for cases like this.. then they won’t be getting my referrals anymore.

In residency, one of the attending oral surgeons told me, “Nobody cares more about you than you.”
It helped me to realize that if you want to do something, you’re the only one stopping you. Gotta make things happen for yourself and not count on any outside help, luck, or special circumstance. And also that you have to make sure to take care…

Overwhelming case!!!
New patient exam. 62 yo female no remarkable medical history.
Patient’s CC: “My top teeth are failing, I want to fix them but I want something that is not removable”
Maxillary arch: 5 implants – 3 restored
Mandibular arch: Kennedy class 2, severe anterior attrition
Implants were placed by a periodontist.
Maxillary teeth…

Wow, this looks like a challenging case!
Definitely needs a full mouth restoration and getting back that lost vertical dimension. How did the patient feel about going for a full arch prosthesis on the maxilla?

This one is very tough, but also a very solvable case.
Right off the bat, to start a case and see it through properly, I would ballpark the cost to be about $50,000 at least for her to complete treatment for both arches.
Not to say that she has to do the FULL treatment for everything right away. She can surely do the upper arch to ideal…
