First freehand implant placed a couple of weeks ago. #4. Felt my initial angulation was coming too far mesially and tried to course correct best I could. Happy with the final placement. A little tricky with the distal sloping of the ridge from #5 down to implant #3. Did a papilla sparing incision and tucked the tissue to the buccal with…

First three career implants placed last month! Fully guided.

Some thoughts and questions:

The tissue punch for #29 probably left a less than ideal amount of buccal keratinized gingiva. One month later, patient has some irritation of the gingiva buccal to the healing abutment. In retrospect, I would have liked to flap rather than punch and try…

HI Guys

i am a bit confused on PRF & CGF (sticky bone),mostly the RPM & time to prepare for sticky bone.

I understand A-PRF (PRF membrane) is 1300 rpm at 8 minutes (red tube), is the CGF (sicky bone0 is i-PRF which is red tube at 7oo RPM for 3 minutes then mixed with allograft? I understand each centrifuge has its own settings!

Can someone…

Looking back at a case I did a few years ago, I’ve realized how much my approach has evolved.

I placed two implants in the posterior region using guided surgery. At the time, I chose a tissue punch technique because there was plenty of keratinized tissue, and it felt like the most minimally invasive option. The implants healed well, and the…

Reply to UPPER OVERDENTURE CASE

Haha nothing gave it away!

I ask about the lower arch because of the occlusal plane. See how it goes up in the anterior teeth as those teeth super erupt?

I wanted to know if that occlusal plane will be corrected. It’s okay to leave it as is, but if the lower teeth were compromised also, it would be great to correct the occlusion with both…

Implant Placement – Lower Second Molar with a Focus on Keratinized Tissue

This case highlights the importance of soft tissue management for long-term implant success. In this case, I placed an implant on a healed site for a lower second molar, and my approach focused on ensuring we have a thick keratinized band on the buccal side.

When dealing…

What are your tips or tricks for making sure your implant is in the correct restorative position?

When placing Implants freehand, it’s easy to judge the mesial and distal angulation, but often tricky to judge buccal lingual orientation. Here’s what you can do to make sure you are in the correct restorative position – use the opposing dentition!

PERI IMPLANTITIS.

As a periodontist it is truly the bane of my existence. But, it happens to the best of us. Sometimes it’s completely out of our control for patient factors or general lack of follow up. For those patients in your practice though with consistent follow up care, it can be the most frustrating.

So my question is– what are…

This implant previously supported a gold crown on a one-piece abutment. Additionally, the tissue-level implant at site #30 has a worn… Read more
