I am planning on clearing the upper dentition and placing 4 implants (laterals and angled 4's). We will load immediately with CUD on locators on the 4 implants so long as they torque out.  The Final prosthesis will be a fixed hybrid. The alveloplasty will be 5mm across the anterior and blend into the posterior. The patients opposing dentition is natural.My concern is the ability to graft the sinuses with the direct lateral approach.I am plac...

I will be doing guided surgery.Is the best way to approach this a ridge split? If yes can you provide details.ORDO i drill 2.0, 2.3 to length and attempt placement of 4.0 and graft the buccal afterwards.ThanksChad...

Hello everyone,I have a patient that has presented with a failed implant. This implant was placed by another dentist three years ago. It started wobbling and eventually came out on its own.

The 14 implant was placed by the same dentist prior to 15 and is doing fine.So:Causes of the failure: I believe its most likely a combination of a short implant and occlusal trauma. H...

This patient has a huge incisive canal who lost her two front teeth in an accident.  This case is beyond my skill level, but is there anyone out there who would graft the incisive canal?  She is currently looking doing a bridge, but was interested in 2nd opinions on implants. The canines and laterals have been prepped for the bridge. Thanks for any opinions....

I am just after your thoughts on implant diameters and positioning particularly then depth for the following 4 implants. I have attached 2 PAN images.Image 1 tooth #34 bridge abutment: Planned for 4.5 x10.  Would it be more idea to go 4.0x10 and move a bit more towards the crest while respecting buccal bone width at the crest. Again I like the plan but am wondering if it is too deep.Image 2 tooth #36 bridge abutment:  Planned for a 5x7....
