Bone density related: dont waste your time with D4 bone, in D3 you are taking big chances. 2. Clenchers: You better know the biomechanic concepts of Dr Misch contemporary implant dentistry and know how to apply it clinically plus parafunctional forces management with splints, biofeedback and medication. OR DONT DO IT!, in fact DONT DO IT! 3. Psychogenic factors: I have had to remove perfectly functioning healthy mini implants in a patient that couldnt stand seen screws in his mouth, just to have him call me 6 months later to put them back.

]]> Comment on Tooth Treated with a Root Canal: Candidate for Immediate Implant Placement or Not? by Emergency dentist http://www.osseonews.com/tooth-treated-with-a-root-canal-candidate-for-immediate-implant-placement-or-not/#comment-84289 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 23:43:34 +0000 http://www.osseonews.com/tooth-treated-with-a-root-canal-candidate-for-immediate-implant-placement-or-not/#comment-84289 This is a very interesting dental topic and I enjoy reading everyone's comments. As far as the case to extract and place an implant or not depends on the situation. In esthetic cases, I will avoid immediate implant placment. For posterior dental implants, I have no issue having the implant in right away. This is a very interesting dental topic and I enjoy reading everyone’s comments.

If it helps, I can also use Spanish. Go to www.implantdirect.com and you can find the component parts for your patient. Dr Niznick was the developer of the Core-Vent implants.

]]> Comment on MELISA Test for Hypersensitivity to Metals: Should This Be Routine Prior to Implant Surgery? by Karen http://www.osseonews.com/melisa-test-for-hypersensitivity-to-metals/#comment-84208 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 04:40:47 +0000 http://www.osseonews.com/melisa-test-for-hypersensitivity-to-metals/#comment-84208 Here's my update. Several blood tests say "no Herpes, no antibodies" which means never had ever. But it's now Nov 7 and I again have a full mouth of "sores" and a tongue that hurts. This all showed up approx 54 hours after the last implant placement on Sept 23. Help! Anyone? Here’s my update. Several blood tests say “no Herpes, no antibodies” which means never had ever.

]]> Comment on Grafting an Extraction Site even when the Buccal Cortical Plate is Intact? by Robert J. Miller http://www.osseonews.com/grafting-an-extraction-site-even-when-the-buccal-cortical-plate-is-intact/#comment-84080 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 22:44:41 +0000 http://www.osseonews.com/grafting-an-extraction-site-even-when-the-buccal-cortical-plate-is-intact/#comment-84080 If you believe in grafting extraction site defects, why don't you place the implant and graft the extraction site defect around the implant. In this way, you can place an anatomic healing abutment or provisionalize the implant out of occlusion. You will preserve the dento-gigival complex, and the slight stress on the bone from the provisional will help to maintain bone. When you graft first, then wait 4 months to place the implant, the bone density and quality of soft tissue is diminished. If you attend implant conferences, virtually every clinician shows extraction/immediate placement cases and retention of soft/hard tissue profiles. The use of current generation implant systems, bone graft materials, lasers, and growth factors such as PRF, will help to re-engineer the biology of the osteotomy. Inappropriate choices of implant sequencing, poor selection of bone graft materials, and an adherence to old paradigms will lead you to mediocre clinical outcomes.

A well preserved site allows better implant size and positioning and reduces the potential need for grafting when the implant is placed. The relatively small additional expense and additional time is worth it considering you're attempting to predictably and permenantly replace an important piece of dental anatomy.

]]> Comment on Abutment Level Impressions vs. Implant Level Impressions? by steve c http://www.osseonews.com/abutment-level-impressions-vs-implant-level-impressions/#comment-84055 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 18:00:52 +0000 http://www.osseonews.com/abutment-level-impressions-vs-implant-level-impressions/#comment-84055 Suggest that for a full upper fixed you're better to get implant level impressions for a screw retained(retrievable) prosthesis. In this method you use the existing healing abutments and denture as a temporary which is more convenient than trying to make temporary acrylic bridges with good margins and proper gingival support. The point made by narayn is valid in that if you wish to use a cemented prosthesis you're still better with implant level impressions and custom abutments to ensure cement margins are not too deep.

]]> Comment on Dental Implant Failure by Richard Hughes DDS, FAAID, FAAIP, Dipl.ABOI/ID http://www.osseonews.com/dental-implant-failure/#comment-83991 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 03:17:17 +0000 http://www.osseonews.com/dental-implant-failure/#comment-83991 Dear S. Brummel, You may want to visit the AAID webpage for some of your answers. As pe titanium vs zirconium, I would say that titanium is kinder to your bone and is easier to restore. Titanium root form implant systems have all sorts of solutions for restorative challenges whereas zirconium is as I understand is limited. I may be wrong about the restorative issues as per zirconium, but it is too stiff for the bone which may result in bone loss about the implant after it's in function. Dear S.
