Extra Wide Implants for Immediate Placement: Any Experience with These? | OsseoNews Discussions on Dental Implants

Extra Wide Implants for Immediate Placement: Any Experience with These? | OsseoNews Discussions on Dental Implants : "* December 15th, 2009 Dear osurg, “Iatrogenic”, according to Webster’s is defined as, “induced inadvertently by a physician”. When we insert a dental implant into the bone and gums, we create a pocket around the neck of the implant as it traverses through the gum and into the oral cavity. This pocket is different from the normal gingival sulcus that is found around a normal tooth. When the gingival sulcus become diseased due to infection, trauma or abnormal immune response……it becomes inflamed and deeper and the diseased state is then called a pocket. I call the corresponding sulcus around the dental implant as it emerges into the mouth a pocket because it is not normal but a pathology. In this case the pathology is physician-induced and therefore iatrogenic! If we examine the pocket around the implant histologically, it is a vast difference from that of ...

Returning Clinical Judgement From the Lab Back to the Dentist

Yes. They are mini dental implants . The anterior implant has a composite bud light-cured on. The posterior 2 implants have metal buds cemented on. A direct impression was taken and sent to the lab where the bridge is made the usual way in which conventional crowns and bridges are made but designed to provide a friendly interface with the gums and easy maintenance. With the increasing use of dental implants, the dentist has become more and more lab-dependent to the extent that he/she often seem just like a technician. All the dentist have to do is to send the models and X-ray images to the laboratory and back comes a precision-stent together with the prefabricated crown or bridge. The dentist places the stent, drills the hole and screws in the implant to a preset depth and then cements the crown or bridge. Simple and straightforward but highly lab-dependent and turns the dentist from a clinician into a technician . The bud and direct impression approach gives back the dentist the re...

THE BUDDY SYSTEM

THE BUDDY SYSTEM: A PROSTHODONTIC SOLUTION  FOR THE MINI DENTAL IMPLANT Dr. Chow Kai Foo BDS Singapore, FDSRCS England, Cert. of Implantology Germany, FICD THE STORY OF MINI DENTAL IMPLANTS Mini dental implants were initially used as transitionals. One of the first makers were Dentatus of the U.S.A.  They were placed in between conventional implants so that while the conventionals were osseointegrating, the transitionals were used to support the temporary bridges. However, when the time came to bring the conventionals into function and to remove the transitionals, some of them could not be unscrewed and were found to be osseointegrated. These osseointegrated transitionals were then cut off at the bone level and left in situ. The conventional 2 piece implants were then connected and the prosthodontics completed. It did not take long for some innovative dentists to decide to use the transitionals to support permanent crowns and bridges. One of them was ...
