Update for those interested on the case I posted about not too long ago.

We went with custom milled locators from TruAbutment to angle correct. The case turned out really well!

I use Galileos and a Cerec scan to kinda do a digital wax up then send for a guide.

Good to know there’s no specific exact distance required as long as it is within reasonable distance to fit the pt’s occlusion.

I appreciate all the responses this has been very helpful!

Sub crestal placement of your implants are crucial, but none more than your immediate implants. The thickness of your tissue and quality of tissue have a lot to do with your crestal bone maintenance and health over the life of your implant.

In this case, there were two premolars that were nonrestorable and were removed. The sites were cleaned…

#3- width 10.6, height 10.7, bone seems a bit spongy, but should be ok? It’s not quite as wide as you think your measurement is very far down in the bone and it’s much thinner towards the top. You should be able to get an implant in there, but it’s not quite as wide as you think.

#4- width 7.3, height 13.6, width can benefit from guided bone…

I extracted #5 on this 30yo almost 5 years ago. I remember the tooth was bombed out and so was the buccal plate with soft tissue ingrown all the way to the palatal bone. I did the best I could to clean the socket and graft at the time but I don’t think I got much to stick. The 5 years since also didn’t help the matter.

How do you guys approach…

Concentrated growth factors within dentistry can be a great add to your tool belt within your practice. I love CGF/PRF and what I am able to accomplish by following these protocols especially on larger bone augmentation procedures. It is no magic pill, however, the results speak for itself and this topic is a very well researched area that…

Quite a challenging case here, what would you do for this lower anterior sector. The two lower central incisors were extracted 6 months ago and the area has healed but still vertical bone loss is observed. Here is a video of the cbct scan.

Options to do:

– extractions of lower laterals followed by vertical and horizontal bone grafting…

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…
