Remember if you think you are having a bad day, think about this dentist. 😳

this one’s a doozy, not sure what I would do in this case !

This is really crazy. Thankfully I’ve never had to deal with that myself but in general you have to open up a window and get it out of these. When it’s that high up that’s a bit crazier

Ok, so I always place my Neodent subcrestal. I was told that leaving the implant in the cortical layer of.bone will cause resorbption. Its important to drill deeper than you intend. It also depends on density. If I were placing a 1st molar in a healed site I would drill to 10 mm with 2.2 drill then drill to a 5.0 at 8mm then place a 5×8. I… Read more

Can u take a wash impression under a PMMA if theres is not enough tissue contact or is it best to take a new master cast impression?

So a molar is about 8 mm mesial distal. I would use opposing dentition to help determine tooth size. If you wanna go old school you can capture models and wax up some teeth. ????

Reply to Access Screw locations?
Use air and really dry the acrylic but you can see the outline of the access on the occlusal of 5,6. I would block enough time and just go slow. Best part is since the prosthesis is plastic it’s easily repairable. U got this.

Here’s what i got from the lab. It’s definitely a Monday. 😭

It’s definitely unfortunate when they don’t even check back with their master cast to verify that before they ship it to the doctor🤦♂️🤦♂️🤷♂️

Those days always make me wonder if I should switch labs, then I realize that it happens with them all sometimes. :/

Saw a recent article from JPD about risk factors for peri-implantits bone loss. Most of the risk factors are obvious diabetes etc. The one factor I didn’t understand was about implant design. Having developed his own implant perhaps Ivan can shed some light on this.

I’ll hunt down the full text, but the abstract is really funny as it indicates Nobel Biocare as a leading cause of Peri-implantitis 😆

Whats are everyones thoughts. I saw an ad for a doc who will teach you the technique below. He claims he immediately loads his cases also. How would a pt care for this while healing.

It looks like those little what they call many implants that some doctors place during the temporization. Period x-ray. They look like they’re actually located type of attachments and are removable and if that’s the case, then they would be able to remove them back-and-forth to keep them clean if that’s not the case and their screw retains and…

I would also like to invite everyone here to an in-person retreat out in Cali…

With the new year what is everyone CE plans. I am planning on continuing my CE journey in fixed, taking remote anchorage course. I also want to start learning tissue grafting. What’s everyone else doing?
-
Remote anchorage sounds fire. I’d love to dive into those, but I also wonder how I would safely implement it on my own. What sort of stuff are you looking to learn @suredds ?

@suredds I have a lot of respect for David Wong and he is very matter of fact and down to earth that does great work so from an online aspect which are very convenient for me would be the Ninja Soft tissue course (sorry for the homer answer but it’s true) and for an in person course for me would be any course with Matt Fien which is an…
