Failures are apart of dentistry and any profession whether we like it or not. Our responsibility and goal is to deal with them in an effiecient and professional manner. With all the research articles and studies out there implants typically have a 96% to 97% survival rate at 10 years. This means on average you will have 3 to 4 implant…

Hello hope all is well. If anyone can help me with this situation that will be nice.! I recently delivered a snap on denture on a patient. I use Neodent implants and I have used zest locators. I wonder if that’s right and if not what I should do because I figured that Neodent is not compatible with Zest and I had to go with Novalok.

And if it’s…

Upper full arch implant case discussion

Good day to everyone, recently a gentleman came to my practice, requesting for implants to replace his upper non retentive complete denture. After taking the CBCT, i noticed that the remaining alveolar bone width and height are just sufficient for the all on 4 concept based on literature (5mm width and 10mm height). My surgical plan is as follows…

I have a full arch fixed case mid-restorative phase and would like feedback from the community and Drs. Ivan and Jed.

I did wax rims and VDO/bite last visit, now the lab sent back a U/L wax trying. The bite is off on the L which is fine and needs a reset, my question is on proper lip support vs. a very large anterior cantilever of the teeth…

Placed first implant (#4) solo, 2 weeks later looks like it's failing

Finally took the dive to plan and place my first implant in private practice, unfortunately it looks like it’s failing 2 weeks later.

Placed a 5.0 x 7.0 Hiossen implant at #4 site. Every thing seemed to be going well, undersized my osteotomy by 1x (3.5). Placed the implant to 40 Ncm. Felt pretty confident so placed a healing abutment. Sutured…

I have a patient who looks like a good implant candidate for a mandibular overdenture.

I’ve never done one before but the ridge width is adequate and the patient appears to have enough interocclusal space. Immediate were made about 5 months ago.

My question is, when deciding where to place the implants, do you guys routinely make a large flap…

Here’s a case of what you should expect to see when you don’t value bone, biology, and proper space around your implants.

This was a second opinion/consult from a new patient regarding her lower treatment and implants. These all were removed and reversed out with an implant removal driver and a torque wrench. All of the sites were grafted for…

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…

Hey Dojo peeps! Hope everyone is doing great😁…Can anyone name this suture technique? Which suture technique do you use the most? This case was just a straight forward socket preservation with some CGF/PRF for a future implant.

ALSO…what would you all like to talk about and discuss at the next webinar this month??? PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT SO I…

Sinus lift

Hey everyone. I am tx planning #14 implant (5×8.5mm) with a transcrestal sinus lift of 4-5mm. He reports year round sinus issue; uses a nasal spray. I am concerned with the amount of radioopacity in the left sinus to move forward with sinus bump. His right sinus is completely clear. I put him on sudafed for 2 weeks (to try…

Implant Prosthetic Planning

Good day to all, I am having some issues with this case which was performed without a surgical guide. The fixtures were placed too distally and lingually tilted. I would like to get your expert opinion on the design of the final crowns.

1) Would it be better to join the crowns together to dissipate the occlusal force ? since the screw…

I was going to try to increase her VDO using a partial for #19. Would you replace #13/14 to gain more space as well? How would you approach this case?

Here’s a case to follow up on our immediate implant placement discussion this past Monday. I’m not a huge fan of having to do a fixed temporary crown chair side if I don’t have to but I want the benefits of it and not the risk of the patient biting into something that can compromise the surgery. So, many times I’ll do these custom healing…
