Dental Implant Cases

At what age would implants be considered appropriate? What type of temporary fixed or removable appliance would you consider?

Due to proximity to incisive canal, I had to be cautious in the surgical installation. In doing so the implant was touching the previous failed site

I am however concerned that the implant is too close to #12 [maxillary left first premolar; 24].

Implant at site #10 was placed in 2007. In March 2013, the implant became infected and was treated with amoxillin.

2 implants installed in #19, 20 sites in South America. Can you identify these?

The mandibular canal appears to traverse through the apical extent of the radiopacity. What do you think? Can an implant be placed here?

Would there be any way to recreate the papillae in this case?

Do you think now that the healing screw is off the tissue will grow back or does this case need a gingival graft?

My dilemma is that my patient wanted to get a fixed bridge on 2 implants to save money. Now, I wonder if I should go back and place a third implant?

This is the worst implant case I have ever seen. I’m wondering what treatment options there are for this patient?

82 year old female in good health who presented with a maxillary overdenture retained by very mobile natural teeth.  She would like the teeth extracted and replaced with implants.

This screw broken inside the dental implant. What do you suggest?

I noticed a small sinus tract on the labial aspect of the cortical plate in the attached gingiva a few millimeters below the occlusal aspect.

I performed the Stage 2 uncovery surgery and found that #18 had tipped mesially into the space for #19 reducing the mesial-distal space available for the implant crown.

The problem is that these existing fixed partial dentures have thick metal frameworks and I do not know where the abutments are located in relation to the frameworks.

Four weeks post-surgery and 3 weeks post-restoration the panoramic radiograph shows radiolucencies around all the implants. Patient is otherwise asymptomatic.

While installing a Nobel Biocare Replace Select NP implant in the position of #29, the implant fixture broke at its crest

This 3.25mm diameter implant was placed yesterday in #9 site. Patient has no symptoms, but the radiographs do not look good.

I have a patient from Colombia. I am restoring this case. What brand of implant is this?

The patient presented to me about 2 months post extraction with the radiolucency which has not changed in 10 months. She is asymptomatic, there is minimal pocket dept and the implants are not mobile.

I have treatment planned a patient for a sinus lift via lateral window, bone graft for vertical and horizontal ridge augmentation and implant installation.

I did not know if I should remove this implant or if the paresthesia is caused by the injection of local anesthesia being too close to the mental nerve. What do you think is causing the paresthesia?

When I removed the temporary crown using crown remover foreceps, the implant became mobile. what should I do?

Patient presented to the office with multiple implants, most of which are failing.

I installed 3-implants [Megagen EZPLUS] in a mandible with about 10mm of vertical bone height. Could you comment on the prognosis?
