    Anyone else heard of this new graft material called Tetranite.

    Its like a bone cement. They have videos cementing implants in extraction sockets and getting about 50Ncm. 😱

    • Miron talked about this at a course I took, apparently been in testing since 2017, and being used in medical ortho surgeries to glue bones together. Very promising… however, from his words, only a small amount should be used due to decreased blood flow in glue area which mineralizes.

      • Reminds me of the bone graft called Bond-Apetite. My buddy Nabeel Cajee swears by it. However, I haven’t dug into the literature of bone cements.

        What about this particular case lends itself to doing the VST type technique you mentioned. How is the graft kept stable to avoid movement? Periosteal sling suture? U have a case you can show?

        What happen to my sinus graft? Just not packed enough? Is this radiolucent area tissue? Can I put an implant through this or is this a giant sequestrum?

          Was looking at requirements for ABOI and they want 670 ce hours. Ive learned most everything from textbooks and dont have time to take a maxicourse. Any suggestions as I start this journey?

          • I am figuring this out too. Where are you based?

          • @suredds Geez, yes that is quite a bit of CE. What’s the limiting factor: time or money? If you’re looking at that quantity of CE you probably are looking to not spend a crazy amount of money on each one…

            Drill protocol for D4+ bone. Only pilot drill? This is pt second upper attempt bc I couldnt get primary stability. I’ll try to engage nasal floor to help but eekk. Second attempt tmrw, these full arch cases kicking my butt lately.

            What would u do? Pt was getting headaches bc she was hitting too hard on LL didnt tell me till she rolls in for suture removal and out implant comes. My current plan is replace and sleep it. Concerned about LR also, will flap and visualize possibly replace also.

            • Hey Nick, this has happened to me several times.

              1) I usually prepare to make a new provisional right away. Because you’re going to have an extended healing period now, you know your temp will go through more wear and tear.

              2) place a new implant in a new site on the left.

              3) deliver new temp attached to all implants and wait it out.

              No… Read more
