Dental Implant Cases

I recently installed an implant into the inferior alveolar canal. Upon realizing what I had done, I backed out the implant and replaced it with a shorter, wider implant.

I did a sinus lift and installed 3 Anthogyr AXIOM implants in the maxillary right posterior 4 months prior.

I have a new patient who presented with implant supported, screw retained fixed partial dentures in the maxilla and mandible.

What remedial treatment would you recommend for this implant patient? Any suggestion as to what went wrong?

Should the extraction defects be repaired before placing implants? Should the implants have been placed at the time of extraction?

I have not been able to identify the implant in the #27 area. Can anyone help?

At 1 week post-operative, the patient returned and presented with loose or missing sutures around #9 and 11 with membrane and graft exposed.

The patient is currently pregnant and I would have to place the implant and the crowns while she is still pregnant. Should I proceed with the work?

I will need to do bilateral sinus lifts for this patient. I’d normally place the implants simultaneously, but I’m now using the Anklyos implant system.

My concern is that the alveolar ridge is quite narrow buccolingually and I will have to do some major surgical intervention to accommodate the implant fixtures.

During treatment planning for implants, a CBVT scan revealed what appears to be an anatomic structure about 1mm diameter in the area.

The area has healed uneventfully but there is decreased bone height and the ridge diameter of about 5mm.

A 50 year old male patient, non- diabetic, non-smoker, without parafunctional habits, presented with a mobile 7 (maxillary right lateral incisor; 12).

Bone Regeneration on Adjacent tooth whilst Placing Implant and Grafting

I have a patient who presents with missing teeth and many of the remaining teeth have significant periodontal disease.

Do you think I have adequate bone volume and bone height for a mandibular overdenture retained by 4-implants?

Two weeks after the surgery the implant healing caps became exposed and I advised the patient to use chlorhexidine gel over the implants.

Approximately 1 month later patient returned with another infection. Patient wants implants to replace #18,19.

It looks like my entire implant will be in graft. Normally I have chosen to place implants into areas that can gain all the initial stability from the original bone and not rely on the grafted portion.

The problem I encountered during the surgery is that I inadvertently tore away the sinus membrane in the area where I needed to graft. The membrane had been completely removed. I grafted the area with Regenaform.

The ENT specialist suspects that the fungal infection may be related to her dental implant and he wants me to remove the fixed partial denture so he can have greater visual access to the area.

Place 2 implants and avoid placing implants into the incisive canals or place 4 implants in the anterior mandible to avoid complications?

The problem is that if I allow 14mm each side then I will only have enough space to place 2 regular platform implants inter-foraminally rather than the 4 I intended. Is it crucial that I avoid the whole anterior loop?

The patient presents with red and inflamed gingival and mucosa around the dental implant. Two threads are exposed. When she smiles, the frena pull causes some discomfort.
