    Hello Safanah! I typically don’t stick to one general number they can range from 7 to 9 mm or even greater but much of it depends on the patients occlusion and their existing dentition. Yes, you could go old-school like some mentioned and do a model and wax up or you can just do that digitally very similar to what you did and get it pretty good…

  • Hello everyone! I hope everyone’s having a great week. Here’s an update to the previous case that was shared and has been discussed.

    Look how much thick keratinized tissue there is now once the patient is fully healed five months postoperatively. We also had good bone regeneration around and over the implants and placed wide healing abutments…

  • Two implants were placed. One immediate implant and one implant adjacent on a healed site along with simultaneous ridge augmentation. Implants were covered and primarily closure achieved using PTFE sutures.

    This was how the patient presented three weeks post operative for check up and suture removal. What would you do and what are your…

    • Irrigate the site to remove any debri, advise patient to maintain the site as clean as possible, put patient on antibiotic (Augmentin) and mouthwash (Chlorhexidine), allow the site to heal with secondaty intention, if we try to suture this again it is going to be messy as it is already inflammed. Follow patient for a post op every week. I think…

    If the implant had sufficient stability for a healing above men which is typically 20 Newton centimeters and above, and an IQ of 60 or above then, either the healing above it was not the correct platform, or sometimes doctors can put it in the wrong path of insertion, and it doesn’t seem to thread. Most likely just a simple common mistake of one of those.

  • Reply to Access Screw locations?

    It is always a bit tedious and a pain but typically using various X-rays and especially a pano can give you areas to try to access slowing until you find all the screws, slow and patience is keep to not over prep into the screws

    • Attempt to graft the fenestration and hope for the best. Also make sure to warn the patient of possible future complications.

    • This happened a while back, and I figured some of you might like to know how you would address it. This healing abutment that need to be removed was stripped. And some of these cases you can just clean out the inside of the screw access, because sometimes food and debris are in it and once that’s done, you can remove it with a prosthetic torque…

    • OK Dojo Peeps. Some of you wanted to see some suturing techniques for socket preservations that we went over during the last study club meeting so here you go. Lots of different ways that you can do it. A lot of it just comes down to preference. This one is an inverted figure 8 with multiple passes. I find this to be a very useful…

      • I have a question about this Jed, when would you suture and when would you just leave it to heal up on it’s own?

        I know there are many ways to skin a cat here. I’d love to hear your thoughts.
