NARROW DIAMETER DENTAL IMPLANTS


  • K. F. Chow BDS., FDSRCS April 6th, 2010
    Many of my complex cases are treatment planned with both narrow diameter and regular diameter dental implants. My experience in cases when I use only narrow diameter is that I complete my cases much faster than when it involves regular diameters. As such, it behoves serious practitioners to keep both types in mind when treatment planning because I forsee that we are beginning to shift towards a more balanced and sensible approach rather than a prejudiced and narrow approach.
    Cheers!

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 ...

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 ...

Numbness After Implants | OsseoNews Discussions on Dental Implants

Numbness After Implants | OsseoNews Discussions on Dental Implants : "Dr Amayev September 11th, 2006 No matter what kind of surgeons you are anything could happen .Of course we must try to ovoid any possible complication to our patient and treat them with respect but sometimes complication may happen. In order to avoid any possible complication we should just stop what we are doing as been previously mention by Dr Kfchow. I don’t believe that there is a dentist or another type of medical professional or any other profession who never had a complication. We all humans and if we did something we have to try to resolve and help that patient in any possible way if we can. From what Lerry or Ben told us, I don’t know you are a doctors or not but if you are it seems like you both the best and never had any complications in your practice. If you didn’t I am very happy for both of you. Never say this may not happen to you ,look in a future you still practicing. Think about that. May be yo...
