My inquiry pertains to both implants that we are not placing immed ant temp crowns on as well as on those that we are not placing temp crowns on?  I have read the ISQ info which states less than 60 is considered low stability but I would like to get a sense from your experience clinically what number do you feel good leaving the implant in place.  I also realize that torque of implant when placed is a factor as well.   Thanks Sa...

HI All,   I think this case will be interesting to some of you.   This is your typical 4 immediately loaded locator case.  Implants in, locator abutments placed, and picked up in the mouth.  My denturist did a very nice job finishing the case.   These implants are Hiossen ET3 implants and torqued well above 35Ncm.   Hope to see some of you in Calgary for the immediate locator workshop.   Cheers,  ...

Even implant surgery can benefit from the operating microscope. From simple soft tissue surgery around a healing cap with a laser done under the scope to a complex ridge split the microscope magnification and illumination can improve your treatment. There are multiple magnifications on the scope so placement can be done at 2.1 X mag but closeup inspection throughout can occur at the turn of the turret to allow for views at higher magnif...

Hello Bites Mentors, I have a healthy 65 year old female with no medical/health issues presenting with some localized areas of recession at teeth #33 and 42. There are no muscle pulls involved in either of the areas either.  She would like to have the vertical height of her soft tissue restored as best as I can in each of these areas but doe not want to deal with any harvesting surgeries.  I did discuss the possibility of using an Allo...

Hi all, I have started using tacks for lower mandibular bone grafting for a few months. Now I need to remove them during implant placements and just realized I don't know how to take them out. haha. The one I have is from citagenix. Do tacks usually come out easy by grabbing and shaking? How do you usually remove them? Kind of dumb question but thought doesn't hurt to ask.   Thanks   Sunny....
