One Implant Supports 2 Lower Incisors

K. F. Chow BDS., FDSRCS July 14th, 2010
Even if the patient is willing to pay, Black’s principle of “Conservation of sound tooth structure” should not be forgotten.
The two incisors looks alive and sound to me. The conservative option should always be considered first before other options in the name of aesthetics and “patient willing to pay”.

NARROW DIAMETER DENTAL IMPLANTS: POSTED IN OSSEONEWS

K. F. Chow BDS., FDSRCS   says: October 23, 2009 at 11:26 am THE CASE FOR NARROW DIAMETERS/MINIS/REDUCED DIAMETERS/ MINIMIZED DENTAL IMPLANTS/MOSTDIS Narrow diameter dental implants are being increasingly used not only to stabilize dentures but also for long term applications like crowns and bridges. I agree with Carl in that there is no such thing as an absolute contraindication in medicine. Even botox which will kill you if injected into your bloodstream is used ingeniously and judiciously to extend the youthful looks of people. The key word is “judiciously”. Know your medicine well and know what you want to do with it and then you can apply it safely and usefully.

In order to avoid any possible complication we should just stop what we are doing as been previously mention by Dr Kfchow.

NARROW DIAMETER DENTAL IMPLANTS

K. F. Chow BDS., FDSRCS   November 13th, 2009 Thanks for the kind words guys. While I am yet feeling elated and therefore a little brash, let me push the debate a little further. We all know that the transmucosal passage of the dental implant when compared to the transmucosal passage of an actual, real, original living tooth is actually a pathetic imitation of the real thing. The real thing has a nice epithelial attachment with a nice drain around the tooth constantly flushed with antibacterial substances and prohealth nutrients for the gingivae. Not only that the gingival cuff has circular fibres, connective tissue to tooth fibres, bone to tooth fibres , connective tissue to bone fibres etc. that gives each tooth a nice firm resilient yet elastic cuff around the it. Go review your periodontology texts and see for yourself. The dental implant has only a pseudo epithelial attachment and a few if any specialised soft tissue fibres and at best is actually an iatrogenic and pat
