I’ve been trying to find an easy, inexpensive way to record procedures. Here is a video of using a pilot guide. Its shot with an iphone with a ring light. Its a work in progress but I thought I’d share it. Anyone have a method they like for recording?

OH NO! This patient came in today with a #13 broken off at the gumline and a visable vertical fracture.
Replacing the tooth as soon as possible is a priority for her so we discussed the +’s and -‘S of same day implants. She decided that she wanted the tooth extracted and an implant placed today, and that is exactly what we did.
I’ll measure the…Read More-
Hi Doctor,
Very nice placement of the implant after extraction. This is definitely a practice builder and saves the patient time and multiple visits. We are also recommending immediate load of the implant body if certain baseline values are achieved, e.g. 50+ final torquing and an ISQ value of 65+. These are safety measures that have been used…Read More-
Thanks Dr Jim. I suspect that it would have been fine to immediate load. I have to admit that it always makes me a little nervous to do immediate loading. When we do, I always document that I explain to the patient that if we “Put a tooth on right away” there may be complications and may have to start over. It makes me feel a little less tense…Read More

Yes it is safer to second stage it if you do not evaluate the implant with an ISQ measurement. Also, bone level implants are for the most part designed for staging because final bone stabilty and integration takes 3-6 months. Nevertheless you did a great service for this patient. Socket grafting would have added an additional 4 months!

I really like combining orthodontic treatment with implants. I feel as though patients can get the best outcome when we take occlusion into account prior to treatment, and in my mind ortho can be one of the best ways to ensure an ideal restorative situation that helps avoid future problems for the patient.

Anyone have any suggestions on where to get good, affordable surgical guides made?

Hi Neenaz786. Welcome to OClub! I’m sure everyone has a favorite lab and others will chime in. Lab Pronto is very reasonable and has a fast turn around time. there are lots of labs that specialize in guides. 3DDX for instance , is excellent – and costly. i recommend that you learn to print your own guides “in house”. its very simpke and efficient…Read More

I’ve seen this a few times so I just had to share it. I think it sums up why I love Cone Beam images so much!

How would you all handle this situation? Teeth have super errupted into the treatment space leaving insufficient space for an abutment and restoration. For this patient we have planned invisalign to recapture the space. Once invisalign is complete we will plan the implant placements and final restorations. I’m sure there are many different ways to…Read More

Hi Dr. G,
This a very common occurence of super erupted teeth. My question is I did not think invisalign could bodily move teeth. Is driving the tooth apically considered bodily and how long would it take? Would you consider an enamelplasty instead? -
Hi Dr Jim, Invisalign has come a long way and is perfectly able to make space for these implants by uprighting and leveling the arch. Here its a bonus because the patient wants to fix the collapsed bite as well. The treatment time for this will be about 6 months.
I like enameloplasty but in this case I’m worried that it wouldnt be sufficient.…Read More

Good morning members of the O Club.
January is almost ended and as we continue to venture into 2021 many of our colleagues are still negotiating through the covid maze of practice obstacles. One of the main issues still is patient fears of covid contamination. Only time will eliminate this fear. In the mean time, Doctors continue to offer your…Read More -
It was fun chatting with Dr D’Alise the other day. While we were discussing things I remembered an article I wrote a few years back that addresses some of the things we were focusing on. Its not specific to implants, but the methods of implementing new skills can be applied to any procedure.

This was very dense bone for the posterior mandible. I was surprised at how difficult it was to get the pilot drill through it!
