Non-Ideal Positions and Angulations
There are times when dental implants are not placed in ideal positions with ideal angulations. Suppose you intend to restore an edentulous mandible with a dental implant supported fixed partial denture.
Peri-Implantitis
Do we really understand the etiology of this disease entity called Peri-Implantitis?? It would seem to form around HA coated implants due to what? Where do the microbes come from? Are they the same ones as in periodontitis?
Molar Crown on 4.0mm Dental Implant
I have inherited a patient who has a fully integrated 4.0mmx13mm in the edentulous space of #14. The mesiodistal edentulous space is 12mm wide, the buccal and lingual bone support around the implant is over 2mm and the implant is located right in the middle of the edentulous space.
Dental Implant Failure Treatment
I have a patient whose dental implants are completely stable but there is Peri-Implantitis. There has to be an eay way to treat this and prevent this type of situation in the future with other patients. The occlusion is fine and their home care is ok. Any thoughts?
Dental Implant Abutment Retention
So many of us are getting away from screws coming through the occlusal surface for our dental implant supported cronws because of esthetics.
Dental Implant Failure
Placed a dental implant and it was type one bone, no pain for two weeks and then intense pain. The dental implant was surrounded by granulation tissue and no pus.
