    • Actually, we’re gonna make some big changes this year, which I’m really excited about. I have recruited Jed Huss from Restored Smiles to lead up monthly study club sessions and Matt Krieger (Clearchoice and Nuvia surgeon) to host a monthly Ask your Surgeon sesh.

      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…

        UCLA abutment Q. I didnt see until after case returned. I ordered the 4.5/4.3 diameter ucla abutment however i just noted i placed 3.5 implants. Is it a problem since all Neodent platforms are the same.

          So inherited case. Pt has several milled dentures made. He wants me to make him one. Pano shows lack of oros space. Denture confirms this. I plan to shorten anterior abutments. Thoughts on using Dentapreg or FiberForce? These options are glass fiber mesh and mught actually help unlike CrCo.

          Having trouble communicating with lab about hygenic design. They keep putting buccal flanges on my cases. They look like this once adjusted and now they have a pantry shelf. 🤬🤬🤬🤬

          • You’re right man, what kind of material is this? Usually the communication for how you want your final to look is done at the try in stage. What do you do at the try in stage?

                So ive been dealing with this pt and wanted to get help with how to go about this complication. I placed a Neodent CM Dive in 2019 and the crown has come loose couple times. The thing will not unscrew completely and idk why that is and what can be done to remove the screw portion. It looks the abutment index broke off also. If i cannot remove…
